A seated man in a gold-embroidered sherwani with a red sash and red trousers sits on a gold-trimmed throne-like chair before a backdrop of garlands in red, yellow, purple and white. He wears a red and beige turban with a pearl drape, a red tilak on his forehead, a heavy gold necklace and a red shawl draped over one shoulder. A silver bird-topped staff stands at the left, and a small stack of orange cloth rests on the armrest. The setting suggests a ceremonial occasion with floral decoration.
