About this work

This drawing shows a dreamy night scene with two women and a child. One woman is floating midair, her dress swirling like smoke, while the other stands under a glowing lamp. The child clings to a pole, and the background is dark with soft light spilling from the lamps. The artist used loose, flowing lines and light shading to create a fairy-tale feel. The scene looks like it’s inspired by a storybook or a fantasy. Check out more works by Balfour, Ronald E. to see how he blends imagination with art.
