A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a large red cushion and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a rust-brown robe and a long pink and white flower garland, with a red tilak on his forehead and a gold chain around his neck. Golden carved figures of attendants flank the throne, and a brass lamp stands at right against a gilded temple-style backdrop. The setting resembles a stage or hall for a discourse. The page describes a discourse by Swamiji, and the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a rust-brown robe and garlands consistent with that role, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as a depiction of the seated presiding figure.
