A seated man sits on an ornate gold repoussé throne with a large arched backrest and a red cushioned seat, in front of a dark slate-grey wall. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a small jewelled ornament at the front and a red tilak mark on his forehead, a brown-purple shawl draped over his bare shoulders and chest, and a long multi-strand necklace of brown beads with blue stones. Gold armlets sit on his upper arms, and a green parrot perches on his left forearm. He smiles toward the camera. A lit oil lamp stands at the upper right edge of the frame. The turban, saffron-coloured wrap and long necklace match the appearance cues the page associates with Swamiji, so this is a probable identification from appearance on a throne, not a confirmed one.
