The saint is shown seated on the ground with a cloth, tied round his legs to assume a meditative posture (Yoga mudra). The style of painting is interesting as the outline of the figures, both man and animal is in gold paint, and the body of the saint is in rich blue. The clothes of the saint and the body of the cat are rendered in the marbling technique with a soft miture of colours in pink, orange and grey hues. The contrast of colours of blues and pinks, whites and greys make the painting more interesting.
