A smiling man with eyes closed sits in front of an ornate silver-embossed backdrop, hands raised palms outward in a gesture of blessing or devotion. He has long dark hair swept back, a bearded face with white tilak lines and a dark bindi-like mark on the forehead, and wears a bare-chested upper body with an orange-red shawl draped over one shoulder. Heavy gold beaded necklaces with ornate gold pendants hang across his chest. A leopard-print cushion is visible at lower left.
