    A middle-aged woman wearing period or traditional costume, including a white bonnet and floral-patterned shawl tied at the chest, stands near what appears to be a Fresnel lens inside a lighthouse lantern room. Water is visible through the glass panels behind her, suggesting an elevated coastal location. The warm golden light suggests either sunrise or sunset conditions.

    A silhouetted figure dressed in period colonial or Puritan-style clothing, including a bonnet and long dress/apron, is raising or lowering a rope on a flagpole at sunset or sunrise. A city skyline — consistent with Boston, Massachusetts — is visible across the water in the background. The warm orange and amber sky creates a dramatic backlit composition.
