This painting is of a man sitting on a bed. He is wearing a white t-shirt and socks, black boots, and a green jacket over his knees. He is smoking a cigarette. His mattress is sagging and his green blankets are pulled to the end of the bed. The walls of the room are shabby with holes and scratches in them. Pinned to the wall is a picture of a nude woman and a framed picture of Jesus.
