A shirtless, brown-skinned man with a goatee stands painting a large portrait of two Black people on a canvas. He wears black shorts and a beaded bracelet on his right wrist. He holds a paintbrush in his right hand, wearing a black glove on that hand. He applies paint to the face of the figure on the right side of the canvas. A printed image taped to the upper right corner of the canvas appears to be his reference photo. The painting is largely unfinished, with the background being a gold color and the outline of the figures sketched on the canvas. Below the canvas is a wooden palette with multiple colors of paint on it, including tubes of Winsor & Newton Winton oil paint. A few paintbrushes are also lying on the palette.
