Visual Description
A large full moon hangs high in a star-speckled night sky, its surface textured and luminous. Two canines — a light-colored dog in the foreground and a darker hound on a rocky outcrop — sit or howl facing the moon across a pool of water. A crustacean or lobster-like creature emerges from the water near the shore, and rectangular pillars or towers rise on the distant banks. The scene is framed by rolling green hills, stylized clouds, and small floating diamond-shaped sparkles; the title 'The Moon' appears at the bottom and the Roman numeral XVIII at the top.
