This is a print of a dhoti-clad man standing by the window. A larger than life moth(?) sits on the wall nearby and outside the window fishes are playing music. A beehive also forms in the top left corver of the frame. The scene perhaps refers to a Bengali proverb or a popular story well-known among it's audience.
