An interpretation of a biblical scene, inspired by the passage from 1 Samuel 28:12-14. The scene consists of a woman seeing the figure of an old man rise, clothed in a mantle. Nearby, a man, shocked by the sight, kneels with his face to the ground, expressing deep reverence and fear. Exuding an ethereal ambience, figures that could be interpreted as gods, are seen ascending from the ground. The scene should be conveyed in a respectful and devotional manner to Christianity, using a soft color palette characteristic of watercolor paintings

1 Samuel 28:12-14 (KJVA) 12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
