This illustration of ladies bathing in a lotus pool is based on an earlier painting from Guler dated circa 1760-65, now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (acc. no. I.S.115-1955) illustrated by W.G. Archer in Indian Paintings from the Punjab Hills, 1973, Vol. I, Guler p.158, 42, and in Vol. II, p.110. The Guler painting shows the same corner of the pool with a maiden seated near the edge on a low stool, smoking a huqqa.
