The image shows a man standing upright. He has a full beard and mustache, and he is wearing clear glasses and a beige knit hat. He is dressed in a dark green coverall with visible paint stains. The man is holding two model airplanes, one mainly white with red accents, and the other red with parts painted in red, white, and blue with star designs. He stands on snowy ground with construction materials around him, next to a building with a turquoise wall and a red-framed window. Trees without leaves are visible in the background under an overcast sky.
