A man with grey hair and wire-rimmed glasses, wearing a white shirt, leans in to work on a clay bust of a head with his hands, smoothing its cheek. A second pair of hands, one wearing a gold ring and a dark bracelet, steadies the clay head from behind. Behind them is a shelf of books and a wall in a bright room. The bust is an unpainted clay sculpture being modelled by hand. The sculptor is a physical person; the clay head is a sculpture, not a living person.
