The mural was a realistic portrait of bricks chipped away to reveal a green wall. Taped to that wall was a scrap of notebook paper upon which a butterfly had landed.

The sign was small and attached to the restaurant wall to the right of the mural. It read:

The artist's signature appeared to be etched into the revealed bricks.

A closer view of the monarch butterfly that landed on the paper. Either it was already present and discovered, or it landed after the paper was exposed.

A closer view of the paper and the piece of masking tape. The paper was clearly torn from a sheet of three-hole-punched school paper. The masking tape was torn, rather than cut.

A closer view of the bricks discovered behind the plaster face. The removed bricks revealed a green wall previously hidden behind them.

The upper right corner of the art gave a better view of the thickness of the bricks, and how that hovered six inches in front of the green wall.
