A lady and her maids visit three yoginis at night in a forest; the lady is dressed in a blue bodice and costume of gold and colours. Her maids gather close behind her on the left, and the three yoginis are seated on the right, one playing a musical instrument, the other two falling asleep; in the centre burns a fire. There are bushes in the foreground and dense trees above.
Note: This and J.9, 16 and J.15, 10, are clearly derived from Deccani originals of the same type as the model for Mir Kalan Khan’s picture of the lady killing a snake, J.15, 8.
