Beige-colored wall with a painted figure. The figure is centered and faces right; it has short reddish-brown hair and wears a white tunic with green sash. The figure's left arm bends at the elbow, palm toward the face; the right arm bends at the elbow and extends behind the body. The background around the figure is blue with some gray spots. The wall's surface shows signs of deterioration and peeling paint.
