Description: A wonderful mood is conveyed by means of lighting and multiple variations of colors in blues, grays, white, red, yellow tones and black. The focus is on a woman walking in the temple courtyard; we see her figure from the back, leading our view toward the distant doorway in which another figure is discovered. The scene is framed by a large lantern and a tree which emphasize, in turn the perspective of the setting. Above and beyond, it is the lighting and mood of the snowy winter night that gives this image the gentle and profound effect.
