Description
English: "Painting of a rishi, the Parijata Tree and Kamadhenu.

The sage sits in an architectural frame, seated on a tiger-skin and with yogabandha. In his right hand he holds a rosary. To his right are his water-pot and staff while to his left is a lotah with bilva leaves. In the centre of the page is the Parijata Tree, with many different types of leaves and flowers. To the left, is the wish-fulfiling mythic beast, Kamadhenu or Surabhi. It has a human crowned head, the body of a cow (with anklets), as well as wings and a peacock's tail. An element of perspective is provided by the sketched in foreground.

On laid European paper watermarked with an armorial design and 'T W'."
