Edward Robert Hughes captures the essence of morning in this dreamy profile, likely a companion piece to his famous 'Night'. The woman, adorned with a delicate crown of pink blossoms, gazes upward with an expression of pure wonder against a fluffy, cloud-filled sky. Hughes, who started his career mixing paints for Pre-Raphaelite giants like John Everett Millais (he actually painted the hands in the famous 'Ophelia'!), developed this incredibly soft, luminous style. It feels like a breath of fresh air, literally embodying the arrival of a new day.
