First Passover

More about First Passover

A detailed night-time painting depicts a narrow, dark, dirt alley between two stone block buildings with rough, irregular textures and prominent mortar lines. In the foreground, a wooden door with a black handle is set in a stone wall. The doorway is framed by horizontal and vertical wooden beams, with blood-red paint smeared on the top horizontal beam and both vertical side beams. To the left of the door, a small, lit oil lamp sits on a stone ledge protruding from the wall, casting a warm glow that illuminates the surrounding textured stone blocks and the immediate ground below. A small, light brown ceramic jug rests on the ground to the right of the doorway. The dirt path in the alley is dappled with light and shadow, with some small patches of green grass growing along the edges. Further down the alley, a second stone building with a wooden door is visible, but shrouded in deeper shadow. The night sky above is a dark blue, speckled with numerous small white stars.
