The portrait is labelled as a depiction on a backdrop. In front, a brass multi-tiered oil lamp with lit wicks is being tended by a silhouetted person in the foreground. Golden lion sculptures flank the seat, a silver trident stands to the right, and a tiger-striped cloth lies on the platform beneath an arrangement of fruit and flowers.
