The camera zooms in on a painting in progress. The artwork features two African individuals. The subject on the left is partially completed with an ornate white headdress, decorative facial markings, and a colorful beaded necklace. To the right, the second figure is in an earlier stage, represented by an outline of the head and body, with paint applied to the eyes, nose, and brow line. A dark-colored feather is placed on the canvas between the figures. The background of the painting is an amber yellow. A photograph of the two figures is taped on the canvas as a reference. The painting is on an easel. The bottom of the painting is visible.
