A man in the foreground sits cross-legged, hand near his face. In the background, figures in saffron-orange robes sit near a green-and-red draped table, and portrait banners on the walls show a figure with long hair holding a violin-like instrument. A chair-lined room with a side table and metal vessel is visible to the right. No person is identifiable as a person with confidence.
