Like the other murals painted by Sadequain for the state Bank, this one also deals with industry and agriculture. Painted for the entrance public lobby of Bank, it was affixed near the entrance door where it was touched by many people entering the Hall. It was taken out from there and got restored to its original perfection. The right hand side shows the ripening fields of agriculture and the left shows the industrial process. The centre figures of a man and a woman are showing the results of their endeavor. The woman naturally holds the fruit of the earth and the man is the bearer of industrial output. This is a proud possession of the unique body of works by the artist in the State Bank of Pakistan.
