At the right hand of the rājā is a group of five women. Three of them, in the upper row, are showing grief at the decision of the rājā. One, with a fair complexion, is beating her breast; another, of greenish complexion, has raised her hand in excitement; the hands of the third, who has a reddish complexion, have been damaged. The remaining two, seated below, are of fair complexion. One of them has a child in her lap, and her face shows anxiety. The other is leaning on her right hand and looking back at her child, who is staring at the mother. The child has been clumsily drawn, nor do the female figures exhibit any artistic skill.
