Painter: anonymous

Medium: brush
Description: On a porch, a woman sits staring somewhat sadly ahead. Her friend, sitting in front of her, tries to comfort her. A woman, like this one, abandoned by her lover, is a familiar theme in nayikabheda literature, in which men and women are described and classified according to their behavior and experience in love. The image is pasted on a sheet with a narrow decorative border of gold on yellowed paper, trimmed with black frame lines; a piece pasted on the upper left.
