Film still for the Hindi film 'Bahu Begum', released in the year 1967.

The still shows the female lead Zeenat Jahan (Meena Kumari) sitting on a bed, with the character Nawab Sikander Mirza (Ashok Kumar) standing next to her. Zeenat is in thought, possibly upset/ angered by something and is looking downwards, determinedly. Nawab Sikander has one hand on a post of the bed, and the other has its index finger extended, pointing at nothing in particular but possibly displaying intent of action. The bed post and foot board has detailed filligree work. In the background are some lamps, a door, and a chair.
