This lovely painting encapsulates the sad reality of the nomadic life of the gypsies. It encapsulates a tanned olive complexioned man with a long ducktail beard that hangs down his neck as his wide eyes compliment his Greek nose and protruding ears that go along with the thinly curved sideburns. He is appareled in a baggy and pleated amber tunic that is coupled with his short frilled dhoti revealing his blemished thighs as a peach pink creased satchel droops from his shoulder with its bow tied strap that tightens around his shoulder. The handicapped man takes hold of his dark brown crutch as a tin crafted syrup bowl trying to stand from his floral beige mattress with a dusty golden anklet that charms his disabled legs and an ersatz pearl necklace and ear tops, enhancing his neck.

He is accompanied with a porcelain complexion lady embellished with an aquiline nose and amber painted drooping eyelids and wide round eyes that compliment her faded thin eyebrows as her downturned carrot orange lips that go with a curled strand of hair that festoons her face. She is clothed in an olive half chest crop top that reveals her cleavage, going along with her royal orange plicated and leafy green stripe emblazoned skirt short skirt that exhibits her gleaming golden anklet that clasps her talus as her lovely fingers are painted with fading henna.

The lady’s neck is adorned with a stunning artificial gold and pearl choker necklace that combines with a draping double layered opera. Her fivehead is beautified with a bewitching bindi and an intricate maang tikka as her mendhika coloured hands are embellished with a set of fire yellow and shining silver bangles while she walk away with an unclothed child whose bodily features are beautifully designed to produce an artistic image, showing the lovely female child decorated in feigned pearl necklace, earrings and bangles as she is pictured with a mature face and thick long hair that go along with her stringed anklets and a scarlet red bindi that ornaments her.

A leaf shed plant hangs at their back metaphorically enclosing the sadness in their lives, capturing all of it in a miniature painting making it a worthy and masterpiece in the field of art.
