An Assassin Among Icebergs: A Polar Oil Painting

An assassin wearing a dark hooded cloak, face partially hidden by shadows, stands on a jagged iceberg as fragments drift in a cold, ink-blue Arctic sea. The scene is rendered in rich oil-painting texture with thick impasto, reminiscent of 19th-century maritime realism and chiaroscuro. Soft moonlight and a luminous aurora borealis overhead reflect off the ice, while distant icebergs loom on the horizon. The atmosphere is tense, with the silhouette of a blade glinting subtly, ghosted by winter wind and spray. The painterly brushstrokes evoke atmosphere, depth, and a moody, cinematic tension.
