A framed painting on an easel shows a standing ascetic in orange-saffron robes and an orange turban, with a white tilak and red bindi, rudraksha beads at the neck and white ash markings on the arms. He stoops beside a small clay pot set on a glowing fire among dark rocks, stirring or tending it with a stick, while a bare tree rises at the right. The painted figure is a depiction, not a physically present person, and the frame stands outdoors on a tiled floor. Identity is not established by appearance, so the figure is described by role only.
