A seated man with long dark hair, a red-orange shawl over bare shoulders, and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver throne with carved floral arches and lion-head armrests, draped with leopard-print cushions. A bald man in a white shirt bows forward with his head resting against the seated man's chest while the seated man's hands rest on his shoulders. Another hand holding a small white card or paper appears at the left edge. The seated figure has eyes closed in a calm expression. Behind the throne, a large ornate backdrop is visible. The appearance of the seated man with long hair, red shawl and forehead marking gives a probable Swamiji identification, though the image is partly obscured.
