Mandolin Case on Tirana Workbench

Warm late-afternoon light bounces off pale walls to illuminate a wooden workbench in Tirana. An open mandolin case lined with deep burgundy velvet rests on the grainy surface. The instrument sits centered, its varnished wood reflecting the soft glow. Fine rosin dust floats in the air, catching the shafts of light that slice across the scene. The velvet lining shows subtle texture where the strings rest. A wooden tool handle lies near the case corner. The late afternoon sun creates long, soft shadows that stretch across the bench. Dust motes drift above the open case lid.
