Crystal Ball in a Grand Courthouse: An Oil Painting

Oil painting scene inside a grand courthouse: a neoclassical hall with towering marble columns, a polished mahogany desk, and ornate woodwork. A crystal ball sits atop the desk, its glass surface swirling with faint, otherworldly lights as if predicting the fate of the courtroom. Warm, dramatic lighting from chandeliers and daylight through stained-glass windows casts colorful patches across the marble floor. Thick impasto brushwork, rich earth tones (umber, ochre, sienna) with emerald and ruby highlights, and deep chiaroscuro to evoke mystery and drama.
