Close portrait of a man with long, swept-back black hair and a red bindi on his forehead, seated on an orange cushioned throne. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange shawl wrapped over his shoulders and holds his hands clasped in his lap. Behind him are blurred red and gold draped fabrics, a brass vessel and a white statue wrapped in red and gold cloth. Probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robes and a seated throne position, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference; identity rests on appearance only.
