The women of Muhammad Shah's harem setting up an encampment in the countryside

This painting is included in an album of drawings compiled for Colonel Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Gentil in Faizabad in 1774, but is an earlier work done in the reign of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah (r.1719-1748). It depicts an encampment of the women of his court immediately outside the palace.
