Jesus Walks on the Sea

A bearded figure in a flowing white robe and golden sash stands barefoot on dark, rippling water beneath a night sky with a crescent moon. A glowing halo of light surrounds him as he raises both hands, palms forward, in a gesture of greeting. The muted gouache and watercolor tones give the scene a quiet, luminous mood.
