A seated man with long dark swept-back hair and a red-orange tilak on his forehead sits in a tan upholstered armchair with gold-brocade cushions in front of deep red and magenta silk drapes with gold borders. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a green-and-gold bordered shawl over his shoulder and a red sash, and holds a small folded paper. To the right, a brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped handle stands beside a vase of yellow roses, purple irises and pink carnations.
