A smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair sits before a deep red velvet curtain, eyes nearly closed in laughter. He wears a saffron-orange shawl with a golden-yellow border draped over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder bare, and a dark cord necklace. A red bindi marks his forehead. He holds a sheet of white paper in one hand while the other arm extends outward. Appearance-based identification is probable: the sitter is presented as Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a bindi, shown in person during a discourse-style setting.
