A man seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold repoussé backrest with scrolling foliate designs and a gilded lion-head armrest at right. He wears a saffron-red shawl draped over the shoulders and bare arms, red-and-gold beaded armlets, and a white tilak with a red bindu on the forehead. He has long dark hair swept back and is smiling, with a microphone on a stand beside him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-red garment and ceremonial beaded adornments fit the presentation, and he is seated in a discourse setting.
