Brief Description

Two figures run through a landscape under a turbulent sky, one holding golden fabric over both

Detailed Description

A vertical oil painting depicts two figures in motion, running barefoot through a landscape under a turbulent, dark sky. The man, positioned on the left and slightly behind the woman, is bare-chested with dark, curly hair. He wears a shaggy, dark garment around his lower body. His left arm is raised, holding a large, golden-brown piece of fabric over both their heads, while his right arm is around the woman's waist. He looks towards the viewer. The woman, in front, wears a sheer, white, flowing gown that drapes over her figure. Her reddish-brown hair is disheveled, and she looks over her right shoulder. Her right arm is also raised, appearing to help hold the fabric, and her left hand rests on the man's arm. They move along a light, sandy path with sparse green foliage on the left. The background is dominated by dark, silhouetted mountains or hills under a turbulent, dark sky. A faint flash of light, possibly lightning, is visible in the upper right corner.
