Film still showing a man in a suit standing before a row of large paintings. The oil painting in the foreground depicts men and women on snow-covered ground, smiling and flushed as they lean forward to move a section of an aqueduct. A figure on the viewer's right holds up a green flag. The partially completed aqueduct forms the backdrop in the upper half.
