*The Istari (Part IV)* presents Saruman the White standing within the ancient, brooding forest of Fangorn. The towering trees and twisted roots envelop him, their dark branches casting shadows that hint at hidden depths and secrets. Dressed in white robes that glow subtly in the dim light, Saruman’s figure exudes both authority and a touch of foreboding as he contemplates the forest’s mysteries. This painting captures a moment of tension and intrigue, symbolizing Saruman’s complex connection to nature, wisdom, and his own inner conflicts.
