An outdoor scene in Kumartuli, Kolkata, India, depicts an artisan actively engaged in crafting clay idols. In the center, a man wearing a plaid shirt and shorts stands, meticulously applying material, possibly straw or jute, to an unfinished clay idol resembling a deity's torso. Surrounding him are numerous grey, unpainted clay idols in various stages of completion, supported by rustic bamboo and wooden armatures. These figures include human-like forms, some with multiple limbs, and animalistic or mythological creatures, such as a prominent bull-like figure with a seated human torso on its back, and another with large, protruding eyes.

The ground is an uneven, dark grey surface, littered with straw, clumps of wet clay on cardboard, scattered debris, and several plastic buckets, some containing paint or clay. A tall, grey street light pole wrapped in green vines stands to the right of the artisan. In the background, a residential street features two buildings: a plainer light-colored structure to the left with laundry drying on a line (a red/green patterned blanket and a blue/white patterned fabric), and a more ornate, multi-story building to the right with yellow walls and distinctive maroon architectural trim, featuring a balcony with bamboo blinds and a dark metal gate. Lush green foliage covers parts of the buildings and the light pole. The scene is brightly illuminated by natural light, indicative of daytime.
