A stage performance in a hall with a pale tiled floor. Two performers in costume are bent forward on their hands, one crouched low with a red knitted cap trimmed with sequins and gold embroidered costume, the other behind wearing a green-faced mask with a feathered headdress and black and gold embroidered garment. Behind them stand a figure in a long orange patterned skirt and a dancer in green and red costume with sequined trim. A person in white dhoti with gold border stands at the right edge. The scene appears to be a folk-style dance or drama act.
