This striking artwork presents a nocturnal river scene, viewed from a low perspective, creating a dramatic sense of immersion. In the immediate foreground, a large, textured snake is partially submerged in the water, its scales intricately detailed, creating ripples on the surface. The river stretches into the distance, reflecting the deep blue night sky and the dense, dark foliage of the surrounding jungle or forest. The banks are steep, covered in thick trees and some rocky outcrops, adding to the enclosed, mysterious atmosphere. High above, a subtle moon or celestial body is visible, casting a soft glow that contrasts with the deep shadows. The intricate detailing, particularly in the snake and the foliage, gives the piece a rich, almost fantastical realism.
