A woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, paints at a desk while swarms of mosquitos and other insects fly towards her through the open window. Her canvas is propped on two stacked books. A jar of water holding a brush sits to her right and a lamp hangs overhead. Mine turns from her work to face the viewer. Six canvases lean against the wall under the window and an abstract print hangs on the wall. A partial view of a bed is visible in the foreground.
