Under cover of heavy foliage, bathing women enjoy their privacy in pristine water in this miniature painting. A beautiful lake full of blossoming lotuses and fish aplenty. The scene reminiscent of the story from the Bhagwat purana of Gopis bathing in the river while Krishna steals their clothes. A couple of ladies swimming in the foreground evidently enjoying this leisurely activity while the others engage in idle gossip. The ritual of bathing provides a welcome respite from daily responsibilities. The gold embossed mount makes for a beautiful outline to this lighthearted image of women at leisure
