A seated man in a white turban and white robe sits on a large white throne-like chair heavily decorated with red, orange and white flower garlands, with more garlands draped around his neck. Flowers in red, yellow and white cover the platform in front. Behind him stands a framed portrait of a woman in a pink-orange garment on a backdrop with green and red zigzag trim, and a potted plant and a fan are at the left edge. The scene looks hazy and dim, as if filmed in a hall with stage lighting. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though the image is too hazy to confirm identity, so the a person field is set to unsure.
