Description

An older nun in a traditional black habit and white collar stands directly behind a young boy in a white tank top and dark shorts inside a wooden interior space. The boy wears oversized dark leather boxing gloves and looks forward with a serious expression while the nun rests her hands gently on his shoulders. Strong shafts of dramatic volumetric light cut diagonally across the scene from a high window, illuminating dust motes in the air and highlighting the figures against the dark, rustic wooden walls.
