Tilottama playing with a red ball in the sky

A woman with long black hair and pearl necklaces, bare-chested and wrapped below the waist in a red and gold sari, tosses a red ball with one raised arm. She floats among soft clouds against a pale blue sky, in a painted chromolithograph with a signature at lower left.
