Fountain Pen on Parchment Against Pier Railing

Soft projector light spills across dark walls in an indoor space before dawn, highlighting a fountain pen resting on weathered parchment. The pen lies along the wooden slats of a pier railing, its metal nib catching a faint gleam from the artificial source. Early spring light tones suggest the season through the cool hue of the illumination, which casts soft reflections on the nearby smooth surfaces of the railing and the textured paper. The parchment shows slight creases and a warm, yellowed hue that contrasts with the cool, dark surroundings. A small shadow falls across the edge of the paper, at the base of the object in the space.
