Small page with fine painting, offering two contrary perspectives: bird’s eye view of a fort structure. The figures inside the palace on the other hand, are depicted from a horizontal perspective; 20 persons, almost all of them male, wearing turbans and sitting. In the entrance gate, a standing figure with a rod. Outside on the right, a large blue, chained elephant and two tiny figures in front. Applied floral border. Medium condition consistent with age; torn missing pieces in the corners, as well as around the trees.
