Night

A woman in a flowing blue gown is seen from behind, floating above a dark, star-filled landscape with one arm stretched toward the horizon. Her bare feet dangle near the bottom edge, and the soft pastel strokes give the night sky and rolling hills a shimmering, dreamlike quality.

Español: Noche, por Edward Burne-Jones

Una mujer con un vestido azul fluido se ve de espaldas, flotando sobre un paisaje oscuro salpicado de estrellas, con un brazo extendido hacia el horizonte. Sus pies descalzos cuelgan cerca del borde inferior, y los trazos suaves de pastel dan al cielo nocturno y a las colinas ondulantes una calidad centelleante y onírica.

Português: Noite, por Edward Burne-Jones

Uma mulher de vestido azul esvoaçante é vista de costas, flutuando sobre uma paisagem escura salpicada de estrelas, com um braço estendido em direção ao horizonte. Seus pés descalços pendem perto da borda inferior, e as pinceladas suaves de pastel dão ao céu noturno e às colinas ondulantes uma qualidade cintilante e onírica.
