Detailed Description
A vertically oriented painting depicts the interior of a dark, arched tunnel looking out towards a bright, open landscape. The tunnel dominates the foreground and midground, featuring rough, textured walls and a high, curved ceiling rendered in dark browns, grays, and deep greens. Multiple arches recede into the distance. The floor of the tunnel is uneven, dark, and appears wet in places, reflecting some light from the far end. At the end of the tunnel, a bright, arched opening reveals a wide, flat, green landscape stretching under a light blue sky. A small, dark, indistinct figure is visible in the middle distance, slightly to the right of the center of the opening. Sparse green foliage is visible near the left side of the tunnel exit.
