Rainy night in forest

The picture takes place in Ecuador at night during the 1860s, drenched in a torrential rain. A lone, weathered Ironwood tree dominates the foreground, its gnarled branches reaching upwards like skeletal fingers illuminated by flashes of lightning. Beneath the tree, a young indigenous woman, clad in a simple, mud-stained wool garment, kneels, meticulously carving a small, stylized jaguar from a piece of dark, polished obsidian. A single, wary scarlet macaw perches on a branch above her, its eyes reflecting the storm’s glow. In the distant background, barely visible through the rain and swirling mist, are the flickering lights of a small, hastily constructed adobe village. The overall mood is melancholic and intensely atmospheric, conveying a sense of isolation and ancient ritual. Genre is Abstractionism in Casein Painting technique, heavily influenced by the style and dramatic use of light and shadow of Vasily Vereshchagin.
