White Night is an oil pastel drawing on black paper featuring four nude male figures in a flower-filled landscape. The scene is set under a bright, warm horizon—yellow fading into cooler blue-green—suggesting late evening light that still refuses to go dark.
In the foreground, a figure occupies the lower right, bent or stepping forward with one arm reaching into the grass. Three more figures stand behind him, spaced across the field: one tall on the left, one smaller in the center, and one on the right. The faces are kept loose and painterly, so the work emphasizes posture, proximity, and passage through the space rather than individual portrait detail.
The field is thick with color and texture. Large pink and magenta blooms cluster near the bottom edge; smaller reds and violets punctuate the greens. A dense purple mass on the left side holds the composition like a wall of flowering growth. In the distance, dark hills and a cool ridge line steady the glow of the sky.

Bodies and blossoms share the frame—procession-like figures held inside saturated greens, pinks, and dusk.
