A seated man in a lotus-style cross-legged pose sits on a gold-trimmed platform before a painted backdrop of blue sky and gold-brown draped cloth. He has long dark hair swept back, a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and a small pointed crown or topknot. He wears a leopard-print shawl over bare shoulders, a long gold beaded necklace with dark rudraksha malas, a small gold pendant, and salmon-orange lower garments. White cloth bands wrap his upper arms. His hands rest together in his lap. A black ceremonial vessel with a handle and a silver bowl stand at his left. The sitter's identity is not established from appearance alone.
