He stands barefoot on dry dirt ground in front of a green hill, with a pink-walled building, a white house, trees and a utility pole behind him.

In the lower left, a young shaved-headed man in a saffron-orange shawl over an orange robe stands with a white tilak on his forehead, looking toward the viewer.

The figure on the left wears a saffron robe and has long dark hair; the figure on the right wears a matching orange robe. A bold red-orange banner-style label sits in the lower right corner with readable text. Whether either figure is a person is uncertain, so this is a depiction of two robed figures rather than a confirmed portrait.2020-09-05
