A seated man with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral carvings. He wears an orange saffron wrap with gold-bordered edges and a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace with a central gold pendant. His right hand is raised in a mudra-like gesture while he gazes to the side. In the foreground, the bald head of another person is partially visible at the bottom edge. Gold-toned decorative panels and an orange cloth on the armrest frame the scene. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), given the long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace.
