A female dancer in a maroon and orange silk sari with a red blouse, gold jewellery, a gold waist belt and a jewelled hair ornament performs on a red stage, one arm extended and the other raised in a classical gesture. Behind her stands a large ornate gold stage backdrop with carved elephant friezes and a cobra hood above a golden throne. On the throne sits a printed life-size portrait of a figure in orange robes, a turban, a gold necklace and rudraksha beads, seated on a tiger-skin cushion with red bolsters. The portrait is a depiction on the stage, not a physical person, and the caption attribution is not visible in the frame.
