その壁には一面に落書きがあった。

English Translation

There were scribbles all along the wall.

落書き + あった (= there were) is not a natural collocation in Japanese. It awkwardly sounds like “the scribbles EXISTED on the wall” in English. 落書き is not like a painting that someone draws on a canvas and hang it on a wall. But 落書き is an activity directly done on a wall. Here are more natural translations:

その壁は落書きだらけだった。= (lit.) The wall was filled with scribbles.

その壁は一面に落書きがされていた。= (lit.) The scribbles were drawn all over the wall.

落書きする or 落書きをする (to scribble) as a verb is a common expression.
