The Very Witching Time of Night
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative drawing by the renowned English artist Thorpe, depicting a man and his dog taking an evening stroll along a dimly lit path, surrounded by the enchanting beauty and mystery of the night. The scene is set in the tranquil countryside, where the only sounds are the crunching of gravel underfoot and the occasional bark of the loyal canine companion. As the sun sets and the first stars begin to twinkle in the sky, the man and his dog make their way past a quaint, old cottage, its windows aglow with the warm light of an inviting hearth. The path, illuminated only by the occasional lantern or moonbeam, winds through the darkness, leading the viewer deeper into the heart of the night. The sky above is a canvas of deep blues and purples, speckled with stars that seem to dance in the inky blackness. The trees, silhouetted against the night sky, stand tall and proud, their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers, adding to the sense of magic and wonder that surrounds this enchanting moment. The title of the drawing, "The Very Witching Time of Night," adds an air of mystery and intrigue, hinting at the supernatural and otherworldly forces that may be lurking just beyond the path's edge. But despite the potential dangers, the man and his dog press on, their determination to explore the beauty of the night undeterred. This stunning drawing, created in 1928, is a testament to the power of the night and the allure of the unknown. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of an evening walk, and to embrace the magic and mystery of the world around us.
