A monochromatic mural, rendered in shades of grey and black, is depicted on a recessed wooden panel set within a rough-hewn stone wall in Aktash, Uzbekistan. The central subject is an older male figure, seated, with a prominent beard, mustache, and a wide-brimmed hat. He is shown holding a pipe in his left hand, and a lit cigarette or cigar extends from his mouth, oriented to the right. His right arm rests on a bent knee. The wooden panel exhibits distinct vertical wood grain, and a metallic latch mechanism is present on its upper right side. The surrounding wall is constructed from irregular, light-brown textured stone blocks. A narrow, flat stone ledge forms the base of the recessed panel, below which sparse green vegetation grows on the ground.
