A seated man in a rust-red robe with a gold-bordered wrap and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace leans over a sleeping newborn wrapped in a white blanket with pink floral print. He wears a white horizontal forehead mark and a dark line on the brow, and holds one hand gently over the baby while his other hand supports the infant. Behind him are ornate gold-carved chair backs and a deep red velvet drape. The scene suggests a blessing of a child during a house visit. A printed copyright line appears at lower right.
