A man seated on a red velvet cushioned throne with an ornate gold carved backrest, smiling and holding up a long golden-handled spear-like staff topped with a dark metal tip. He wears a blue draped garment with a gold border over an orange-yellow cloth at the waist, layered rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, rudraksha and gold armbands and bracelets, and a red tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept back. The background is a painted backdrop in pink, orange and red tones. The figure's appearance, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold and rudraksha adornments and a royal-style throne, is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification.
