A life-size painted statue stands in a gilded arched niche against a magenta velvet backdrop. The figure wears a white turban with a red-stoned jewelled ornament, a red and gold brocade garment, and a heavy multi-strand necklace of white and red-green jewels. A thick white flower garland hangs from the shoulders. The right palm is raised in a blessing gesture and the left hand rests open at the side, both with red markings. The statue has bronze-gold skin tones and long dark hair. Ornate gold repoussé frames surround the niche. Because the figure is a statue, it is depicted rather than physically present, and the appearance cues (long hair, turban, ornate clothing and jewellery, garland) fit the page's reference to Swamiji, so the statue is labelled a probable depiction of Swamiji.
