Typewriter art brings a branching tree onto the sheet held in this manual typewriter. The artist leans toward the keys with one hand near the carriage, surrounded by botanical studies clipped across the wall. His olive waistcoat and rolled shirt sleeves echo the quiet colours of the working studio.

The long workbench holds loose papers, a small ribbon tin and drawing tools, while a green metal lamp bends above the machine. Worn wood, circular keys and the exposed typebar mechanism give the image a tactile centre. Tall windows, trailing plants and drawers of supplies extend the scene around the artist, suggesting a hobby that has gradually taken over the room.
