This monochrome portrait shows a construction worker in a hard hat, seated with hands poised over a sketch-like surface, with engineering scaffolding lines behind him.
A man in a hard hat is shown in profile-like three-quarter view, with detailed facial features and beard, while his hands hold a writing instrument over drawn lines; the background includes fine scaffolding drawings.
The palette is mostly black, charcoal grey and white, with crisp linework and subtle gold-toned accents from the surrounding frame options in the image.
