Altaf spent the 1960s in London, learning art. Here, he is probably depicting the studio in his college. The artist appears to have posed himself in the foreground, wearing a long overcoat, his back to the viewers. To the right of the artist is a table with art supplies, while on his left is an easel. In the background, two more paintings can be seen, and at the end can be seen a female nude model posing on a couch. The full figure of the model is not shown, thereby adding perspective to the image.
