A shirtless artist wearing a black glove is working on a large portrait painting. The canvas is painted with a yellow background and features two African figures with traditional tribal markings and adornments. The artist is adding white paint to the male figure's headdress using a thin brush. A reference photograph is taped to the canvas for detail. The artist has short curly hair and a piercing in his left ear. The painting is set on an easel in what looks like an indoor studio space.
