Behind them, two men in white shirts and trousers wear rosette ribbons on their chests, and a flowering plant sits in a corner near a yellow-brown mat.

In front of the throne, a second person in orange robes with hair tied up bends forward with hands extended toward the seated figure's feet, in a gesture of reverence. Orange drapes hang at the left edge against a plain white wall. Two people are visible.
