The scene
Christmas Eve in a firelit parlour, the sisters in the middle of their play when the door opens and their mother comes in from the snow. Soft painted firelight in warm browns and glowing reds, a quiet domestic scene.
The style
A lamplit intimist painting of the 1890s: warm, close colour, patterned walls and rugs, and soft brushwork that makes a small room feel like home.
The inspiration
From Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (1868), Chapter 1: Glad to find you so merry, my girls, said a cheery voice at the door.
How it's made
A print of a digital artwork in the style of a soft painted domestic interior by firelight, not an original. Each carries my printed Chapter & Scene signature.
