A mural of Robin Williams in his old age, yet still with a twinkle in his eyes, was painted on a wall of a closed shop with tagging on either side. A box or carton on the sidewalk partly obscured the mural.

The artist's signature was painted in the upper right corner of the mural. It read, "Cobre," and was followed by the smaller letters "AR" for Argentina.

An even closer shot of the mural focused on Robin Williams' left eye. One can almost feel oneself reflected in the cornea.

A closer shot of Robin Williams' left eye. Notice the cracks between the boards upon which the mural was painted.
