Visual Description

A dark-skinned man dressed in an orange cloth strides down a broad stone staircase, one hand raised to shield his face while the other holds a long wand angled behind him. Bright golden light fills the scene and long vertical staves or beams rise up from the glowing background below. A fluttering scarf trails from his shoulders and the cloth around his waist is caught by the motion. The composition emphasizes movement, height, and a sense of confrontation between the figure and the uprights beneath him.
