A man in a beige striped long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers crouches on bare ground, painting a large mural on a white wall. He holds a small reference photograph in one hand and a brush in the other. The unfinished mural shows a face outlined in black with a loosely shaded yellow-orange wash behind it, surrounded by painted yellow, orange and green flowers. A tall window sits above the wall. Only one physical person is visible; the face on the mural is a painted depiction and not a person in the scene.
