On a grassy hilltop, a small cloaked figure sits among the roots of an enormous, gnarled tree. Its dark canopy arches across the top of the frame. Below, a city of slender spires and towers fades into thick mist.

Heavy grey clouds fill the sky, and a pale glow breaks through behind the branches. The scene is cool and desaturated, with a little green in the grass. The tiny figure against the huge tree and the hazy skyline gives the picture a contemplative, solitary mood.
