This is a painting of a floral pattern intricately designed in gold on a pink background. The composition consists of a network of vines and blossoms interwoven in a design. Large and small flowers, leaves, and tendrils create a dense pattern. The use of gold paint allows the design to shimmer against the pink paper. This is in style of Indian floral motifs often found in historic decorative arts.
