The image shows three individuals. One person on the left is removing wallpaper from a wall using both hands. He has a focused expression, dark disheveled hair, and is wearing a knee-length dark robe with striped pants. Two others on the right are moving a large piece of furniture, with visible legs. They are wearing short-sleeved shirts and tight-fitting pants. The background features a room with walls showing torn, patterned wallpaper and a floor with scattered ripped wallpaper pieces.
