A realistic oil painting of an elderly man standing on a dimly lit city street at night. He wears a dark jacket, beanie, and backpack, and pushes a worn metal shopping cart piled high with boxes, bags, and tattered cloth. The warm glow from a single window in the background contrasts with the cool, shadowy surroundings, highlighting his weathered face and gentle, knowing expression.
A ragged man. A cart full of secrets.
And a riddle that could change everything.
