A tall vertical composition. In the middle of the frame is a painted wall inside a narrow ancient Egyptian tomb corridor: rows of figures in profile in classic Egyptian wall-painting style, in flat ochre, terracotta, black, and turquoise, with columns of painted hieroglyphs between them. In the middle row, a seated scribe in a white linen kilt and a black wig, painted in the same flat Egyptian style, sits cross-legged and types on an open laptop computer, painted as part of the wall. At the bottom of the frame, a woman in her forties with short dark hair, wearing a dusty khaki field vest, kneels at the left and holds a flashlight up to the wall, staring at the scribe. At the top of the frame, the corridor's low stone ceiling is painted dark blue with small yellow stars. Warm light from a work lamp, deep shadows in the corridor. A European ligne claire illustration in the manner of a painted graphic novel, outlined in clean, fine, even ink lines, colored with soft, painterly washes, with a subtle paper-grain texture.
