The rendering of music in paintings of works of art and craft reached its apogee in the Akbari period and has continued since then. According to some treatises, music induces peace in the mind. And when the player of the music instrument is so beautifully portrayed, then the peace is more predominant.

A beautiful woman of lithe body and intoxicating features sit in natural surroundings playing a veena. Her upper body is bare projecting the curves into prominence. The musical instrument, the veena rests on her lap as she holds the neck in her delicate hands. The artist has modelled the long fingers very well. The curves of her narrow waist rhythmically expand at the hips as she sits with legs bent at the knees. The posture is extremely graceful and the flowing odhini, which, does not solve the purpose of concealing her body but the flowing ends lend some more grace to the picture. Her jewellery is not ostentatious, but simple beads and pearls. The minimalistic jewellery and attire highlight the beauty of the woman.

The background in the lower half has vegetation and natural greenery where as the azure sky occupies the upper half. Immediately above the lovely lady hang the branches of a tree whose trunk falls away from the picture frame but has bunches of leaves hanging down.
