Seen through the glass of a display case, the shelf edge and price tags at the bottom, a 48-year-old woman of Central Asian descent is adjusting the movement of a luxury watch with precision tweezers, her hands steady and focused on the intricate gears inside the case. She is rolling the eyes in exasperation, her deep blue eyes wide and her thin fine eyebrows raised, with laugh lines around the eyes. She has very fair porcelain skin with pink undertones and a face wider at the jaw than at the temples. Her hair is light brown, very long and waist-length, shaped into a rounded afro with springy ringlet curls. She has a soft heavyset build and is very short. She is dressed exactly as the role requires, wearing a white lab coat and a watchmaker’s apron. A magnifying loupe is strapped to her eye. Dust particles are visible in the focused beam of the task light. Other disassembled watch parts are laid out on a soft mat. The 50mm lens at arm's length captures the scene. Rembrandt light from one lamp high to one side creates a small triangle of light on the shadowed cheek. The main figure is framed by an arch, a window or a hole inside the picture. Shot on a 50mm lens with a shallow depth of field, showing the texture of the glass case and the metallic sheen of the watch parts.
