This artwork depicts the artist Nicolai Fechin in a green jacket gripping a wooden mallet and chisel with his hands. He holds the mallet in front of him with a determined and focused expression on his face. Fechin has dark hair slicked back and a cigarette firmly clamped between his lips, with smoke trailing upward. The background features abstract, blurred brushstrokes of pink, orange, and blue, giving a sense of depth and atmosphere but not distracting from the central figure. The overall style is realistic with expressive, bold colors that highlight the subject's intensity and character.
