A watercolour painting of a group of revellers surrounding a divan with a richly-dressed couple reclining; handwritten note to the reverse reading: 'The picture shows a drinking party in a harem. The central figure has some likeness to the Emperor Shah Jehan and the male figures are in dress of his period. However the picture is obviously much later.
