Description

An old kerosene lantern and tin cup stand in the foreground on a shelf with a piece of lichen covered wood. Further back, an old document rests, “This Indenture” hand-written as its header. All details in the work are carefully rendered in restrained color, largely in browns, greys and whites,save for the bolf of ornate red cloth.
