Students Bent Over Exams in Evening Lecture Hall

Honey-colored light pours through tall windows, illuminating rows of wooden desks arranged in a spacious lecture hall. Students sit hunched over sheets of paper, their heads bowed in concentration as they write with pens. The warm glow highlights the grain of the wood and casts long, soft shadows across the floor. Early summer air is still, suggested by the open windows and light fabric of their shirts. The perspective pulls attention down the center aisle between the benches, showing the depth of the room. One pen rests on a desk in the foreground, its shadow stretching toward the window ledge where a small potted plant sits.
