Kapila, a Vedic sage. He is shown seated on a raised platform, wearing a dhoti and bare-chested. He is seated cross legged and holds a pot in his left hand. His right hand is hidden in a red sleeve, possibly containing a string of beads. He has a Vaishnava naman (emblem) on his forehead. In front of him and the platform are small vessels. The platform is on the edge of a body of water and in the distance can be seen trees. The painting is surrounded by a black border.
