This print shows a dimly lit room with a window framed by heavy curtains. Inside the window, a bright light shines on a landscape with faint, wavy lines—maybe water or sky. Below the window, a desk holds a lamp, a hat, and some papers, all in black and white. The title hints at something strange or otherworldly, but the image itself feels quiet and still. The contrast between the dark room and the glowing window creates a sharp divide. Look up Mossop, Martin next to see how he plays with light and space in other works.
