This child-like figure in dark clothing kneeling on an ominous landscape is an ominous sight. His head is bowed, hands clasped in front, as if in prayer or deep concentration. The fire in the distance of a wrecked ship casts an eerie glow on the desolate battlefield beneath a stormy night sky. One could color this scene with cool shades of gray, blues and purples, to evoke the melancholy and drama of the situation. The fire of the ship also provides a place for vibrant oranges, reds, and yellows. To bring out the figure in the foreground, a flash of deep teal or purple might accent his hood and cloak. Overall, vibrant and warm colors will balance the oppressive atmosphere of the painting.
