A seated man in an orange saffron shawl with gold-bordered edges sits on a red velvet and ornate gold throne, eyes lowered and hands resting in his lap. He wears a long gold necklace of large beads with dark spacers and a tilak on his forehead. A lit brass oil lamp stands blurred in the background against a dark curtain, and a small framed portrait is visible on the table at left. The Swamiji depiction cue is a probable identification based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, not on the throne alone.
