What is this wall finishing?

It looks like a brick veneer, or wall paper; or is it perhaps a plaster?

If plaster, how would I attain this pattern?

I doubt it's painted brick, but I could be wrong.

    Would say painted over brick. Difficult design for a plaster wall, and lack of colour differences for other guesses.

    Any join lines? Any repeated pattern? Otherwise looks like painted brick.

    @Kris If they had a few different roller designs, so pattern does not repeat, would be perfect for an answer. Did not know of.

  • There is another method involving faux brick panels and joint compound. thesavvysparrow.com/diy-faux-brick-wall

Sure looks like painted brick.

  • Pattern matches size/shape of typical bricks
  • The unevenness of the pattern points to a somewhat older brick wall.
  • The room may have been outside (e.g., an originally open porch) and then enclosed and/or extended from the existing house. Instead of adding a full layer of studs/drywall/etc., easier to just paint over to hide a lot of the imperfections.
  • If this were a veneer/"fake brick" wall, the pattern would almost certainly be much closer to "perfect".
