Detailed Description
A dark scene depicts a large building partially hidden by trees under a moonlit sky. The upper third shows a dark blue-gray sky with white and light gray clouds. A bright, full moon is visible through a break in the clouds, positioned slightly left of the center. The building, a multi-story structure, occupies the right and center-right. It features a round tower on its left side, topped with a conical roof, and a gabled section to its right with a steep, dark roof. One window on the right side of the building emits a warm, orange-yellow light. The building's walls are a muted dark brown. Dense, dark trees and bushes fill the left side, foreground, and midground, obscuring much of the building. These trees are dark brown and black, with sparse, dark green or brown leaves. A tall, slender tree stands in the left-center, extending upwards towards the moon. The foreground is a dark, open area, possibly a path or clearing, with hints of brown and dark green, and sparse ground foliage.
