In a spacious courtyard of a palace, four women play a board game. The woman on the front right has three oblong dice in her hand, ready to throw. The woman on her right sits leaning against a roll pillow. She is the most important lady. The game played here is called Chaupar or Pacisi. It's night, but there are lights everywhere to light the terrace. In the background an immense amount of lights are placed on the walls of the city. Probably the Islamic feast Shab-i-Barat is celebrated here, evening in the women's rooms., draughtsman: anonymous, Lucknow, (possibly), c. 1760 - c. 1770, paper, brush, h 343 mm × w 256 mm
