A seated man with long dark hair tied back, a white forehead mark, a white and red flower garland and an orange-brown garment bare on one shoulder places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. The giver's arm extends across the frame. Behind them, women in saris and a red-trimmed cloth sit among a seated audience in a bright hall, with a gold-patterned cushion and a book on a red cloth nearby. The appearance of the seated giver with long swept-back hair, garland and orange-brown clothing matches the page's a person reference, though the identity is not certain from appearance alone.
