A couple in dalliance

Both the ' nayak' (hero) and 'nayika' (heroine) are seated on a bed under a pavilion and in dalliance as suggested by their postures and gestures. A maid holding a 'chauri' (fly whisk) is seen leaned against a pillar. The architectural elements are prominently visible in the painting.
