A man seated on an ornate gilded throne laughs with eyes closed, head tilted slightly. He has long dark hair swept back, a small red tilak on his forehead, and wears a deep red shawl with a dark embroidered border over his left shoulder and across his chest. A long necklace of large gold beads hangs to his waist. His hands rest folded in his lap against the red fabric. Behind him is a carved gold chair back with floral scrollwork and a red backdrop. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) label: long swept-back hair, ornate gold beaded necklace and saffron-red clothing while seated on a throne.
