The batik work here is in pure and basic colours depicting the erotic flavour of woman and the intoxicating one of wine. A Rajput chieftain, wearing a knee - length robe and a dhoti, enjoys the company of the woman, together with goblets of wine. He sports a beard and a moustache and his turban - a swirling mass of entwined cloth, reaches back to his neck. The woman, giving him the pleasure of her company, is dressed in a short choli and tight trousers. A white odhini covers her head entirely. She holds the wine casket in one hand and a goblet in the other. There is a languid expression in her eyes as she offers him some more wine.
The artist has deployed simple draughtsmanship and primary colours to retain the folk - like simplicity in the batik. The background is turmeric yellow, showing the multi-coloured crackle to its best effect.
