A man seated on a red throne before an ornate gold peacock-feather backrest, with eyes closed and smiling, hands pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears a deep maroon turban decorated with a crescent ornament, a feather and a jewelled brooch, plus a maroon shawl over his bare shoulders. Heavy gold necklaces, armlets, bangles and a large gold waist ornament adorn him, and red-and-gold trim appears at his wrists. A copper vessel sits at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-maroon ceremonial attire, turban, layered gold necklaces and armlets match the page's description of a seated discourse, but the identification is appearance-based only.
