In this painting, the painter seeks to depict human essentialities like love, passion, aspiration and yearning through expression and gestures alone. He has carefully blended sensuality, elegance and grace. Standing against a tree trunk that runs diagonal against the pictorial space, this young woman shies away from a direct look at the viewer. Her body is placed frontally but she looks side ways, her prominent features in profile. She wears a short choli and a ghagra. The high choli and the low skirt show to advantage her bare midriff. She wears a head ornament, earrings, a hansli in the neck and wide ivory bangles in the upper arms, all associated with the traditional way of attire and ornaments. Her hair is braided tightly at the back of her head with a single strand escaping to caress her face and neck. She has one arm behind her back and the other behind her head. She has yearning in her lips. The simplicity in attire and mannerism is the most attractive facet about the painting, together with the fact that the figure is imbued with a kind of celestial calm.

Rajasthani paintings as a routine are full of color and brightness, but here the colors are subdued. Lines are endowed with rhythm and dynamism - the finest portrait of a traditional Rajasthani village belle.
