A smiling man sits on an ornate white and silver throne with carved lion-head armrests against a gold and orange scrollwork backdrop. He wears a rust-brown turban adorned with a gold jewelled ornament and a feather plume, a brown saffron-toned robe, a long multi-strand gold bead necklace, a large gold pendant, a garland of white and pink flowers, and gold armlets and bangles. Only one person is visible. A copper vessel and a white cup sit at the lower left. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, gold jewellery and ceremonial robes in a stage setting.
