The image depicts a painting of Brahma with attendants and musicians. The painting shows a large central figure wearing red and blue, with a round face and short black hair. The figure has four arms and holds objects in three of them; one arm is bent at the elbow. The central figure stands on a cloud or smoke, which appears white. Surrounding the central figure are numerous smaller figures, arranged in four rows of varying sizes; some of these figures wear headdresses, and some play musical instruments. The background of the painting is brown and tan, with some darker brown and black accents. Two large circular designs are on either side of the top center. The painting's colors have faded and appear worn. The overall composition resembles an ancient religious artwork.
