An older man with deeply pigmented brown skin sits on a chair reading a book. He wears a white long-sleeve shirt, brown vest, blue pants, and black shoes. The man has a white beard and balding hair. The book he reads is open on his lap. To his right sits a pink bucket with a broom handle protruding from it. To his left in the background sits a shovel. The background wall is made of stone with a tan hue. The room appears dimly lit. The artist's name and date are written in the bottom left corner.
