A construction worker standing on a stepladder is applying stucco to a ceiling. The stucco is being applied over wire mesh attached to the ceiling. The worker is wearing a hard hat, safety glasses, and gloves. He is using a rectangular trowel to apply the stucco from a shallow container. A large sheet of green plastic is draped near the work area. The work appears to be taking place inside a building under construction. The background shows a concrete ceiling with visible imperfections.
