A seated figure sits on an ornate carved throne with cream upholstery and dark carved wooden armrests, hands pressed together in namaskar at chest level, eyes closed. The figure wears a cream turban, a black garment and a yellow-gold beaded necklace. A microphone stand stands beside the throne. Behind is a banner reading Yoga Sutras with a yellow yoga pose figure, hung over dark blue drapery. A vase of red and pink flowers sits on a white side table at left. One person is visible. The figure's appearance is not clearly consistent with a probable identification, so the role is given instead: a seated speaker at a Yoga Sutras session.
