This is a print of a couple seated across each other on two chairs. The man is wearing a heavily decorated jama, a turban with a plume and pointy shoes - indicating his high social status. He plays a musical instrument (a veena?). On the other side, the woman smokes a hookah. She is also heavily bejewelled and wears pointy shoes like the man. A large flower vase sits on the table between them, among other things.
