The Mutton-Seller

Under a white pavilion, a mutton-seller is shown weighing a piece of meat in a red balance. He wears a black beard, a mauve jama, and a white turban and is seated on a green marbled floor. Next to him is a basket filled with mutton, and a pair of big knives on a stone. To the left, a part of the head of a lamb is visible in a basket. A wooden lob for cutting the mutton into pieces is partly seen above the basket. In the foreground, a bearded noble is standing, purchasing the mutton. He is receiving the mutton in a piece of cloth and wears a red turban, a yellow long jama, a white chaddar on the left shoulder, a red patka, and a mauve coloured trouser. He wears a pair of red slippers and holds a long stick with a spear. A dagger is tucked up in the patka. The painting has a green foreground, a grey-brown brick wall, a white and blue horizon, and no visible border.
