This miniature painting depicts two women grinding grain with a traditional hand-operated mill. The composition is symmetrical, with both women seated in similar postures, angled toward the central grinding apparatus. Their hands and arms engage actively with the tool, highlighting rhythm and effort. The full framing includes the women, the mill, and bowls, presenting a balanced scene.

Both women are shown with medium complexions, long dark hair, and delicate features. They wear traditional attire—elaborate blouses, skirts, and jewellery such as bracelets and necklaces. Their calm, focused expressions reflect concentration and harmony in their task. The grinding apparatus is detailed, suggesting craftsmanship, while the bowls add context and depth.

The style follows Mughal miniature traditions, with meticulous brushwork and intricate garment patterns. Warm earth tones with touches of gold dominate, creating richness and serenity. The soft, diffused lighting casts gentle shadows, enhancing textures and details. Set against a neutral beige background, the scene feels intimate and timeless. Overall, the painting conveys calm focus, cultural tradition, and artistic refinement.
