The scene
A Victorian parlour by firelight in a warm engraving with frost at the glass. The company are deep in their story and the visitor outside is not in it.
The style
A Danish interior oil of about 1900: muted greys and soft blacks, still, empty space and quiet brushwork, with the firelight as the only warmth in the room. The eeriest kind of stillness.
The inspiration
From Told After Supper by Jerome K. Jerome (1891).
How it's made
A print of a digital artwork in the style of a warm Victorian engraving by firelight, not an original. Each carries my printed Chapter & Scene signature.
