A smiling person in a saffron-orange robe stands on a red-brick staircase beside a tall, pale temple tower with carved niches and projecting ledges, identified in the scene as a Buddhist-style stupa or shrine. Green trees and grass fill the left side under an overcast white sky. The person's short dark hair is pulled back and no distinctive a person cues such as long swept hair, crown, or malas are clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.
