About the piece
Created in 1869 by Charles West Cope, this evocative oil painting captures a quiet moment of domestic interiority. A young woman rests from her sewing, her tranquil expression suggesting a dreamlike state, while the dark room is illuminated by a soft internal glow and the distant lights of a city at night visible through the window.
