A man in a pale pink collared shirt stands at the right edge, reaching toward the shoulder of a large grey stone sculpture of a seated figure with a smooth face, long ears and a bare upper body. The statue sits under a thatched bamboo and woven-mat roof supported by wooden poles and red-painted beams. A white banner with partial printed text lies behind the statue, and a bearded man is partly visible. The scene suggests a sculpture or carving work in progress at a temple or ashram site.
