Work Description:
A cloaked figure rises from the bottom left area of the composition and is positioned against a deep burnt umber and brown background. The figure is simplified to the point of becoming a white mountain-like object with a black ovoid form resting atop its peak. An orange glowing sun or orb is set where the figure's lap would be behind a silhouetted black fence-like structure. A long straight golden staff or tool runs from the figure's lap and up off the top left edge of the canvas.
