This color slide depicts a man, Eugene E. White, and an unidentified woman standing outdoors holding up a large painting in Resurrection City. Squatting to one side of the painting, White wears a black beret and a dark shirt under a black leather jacket with black pants. The left sleeve of his jacket has a white armband with a red cross on it. Propping up the other end of the painting is a woman wearing a blue patterned blouse under a blue coat. She has a beige patterned head wrap and sunglasses. The painting shows seven individuals and a dog, standing in two distinct groups in front of a pair of houses. Behind the couple holding the painting is a parked white car with several paintings propped up along the sides. There is a red parked car and three individuals in the background.
