A man with grey-streaked dark hair and a full beard sits smiling with eyes half closed in front of a deep red curtain and an ornate gold-leaf backdrop. He wears a rust-brown shawl draped over his shoulders, a gold pendant on a cord at the throat, and a long garland of pink lotus blossoms strung with gold beads. A white tilak marks his forehead with a dark bindi above the brows. At the right edge, the partial figure of another person with short hair is visible. The lotus garland and devotional seating suggest darshan, though the face and garb alone do not establish an identity.
