A smiling man sits on an ornate brown velvet throne with a gilded feather-patterned backrest, beneath a large yellow fringed Balinese-style umbrella. He wears a maroon turban with a gold brooch and white feather, a rust-orange robe edged with gold, and a long brown beaded necklace, his hands clasped in his lap. Oil lamps burn in the lower foreground, and a painted backdrop shows a Balinese temple and rice fields. The turban, saffron-toned robe, ornate necklace and throne give the appearance of Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial role.
