Visual Description of Artwork

The wall of a building is draped in transparent plastic, allowing us to see the painted surface beneath. The surface seems to be a mural of a city scene, comprising brick and concrete high-rise windowed city buildings. Off-center, taking up much of the right half of the image is what looks like a metal exterior door, painted with a mural of an older architectural scene. The protective plastic is taped down in places with long strips of white or yellow tape, which bunch and wrinkle the sheets of plastic.
