A person is painting a portrait of a dark-skinned individual with white paint designs on their face, based on a reference photo on a phone held in their left hand. The painting is on a canvas with a gold background. The subject of the painting also has a feather in their hair and a necklace of large beads. The painter wears a black glove on their right hand, which holds a fine-tipped paintbrush. Other materials, including other brushes, are visible on the lower left corner of the frame.
