About the piece

Painted in 1907, William Orpen's 'Night' is a masterclass in atmospheric lighting. A figure in a luminous white gown is set against the deep, dark tones of a nocturnal interior, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye toward the center of the composition. The soft handling of paint and the intimate, quiet mood make it a timeless piece for a sophisticated home.
