EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St Agnes Eve" transports us to a serene winter night. Created by the renowned artist John Everett Millais, this pen and ink drawing measures 9.7x7.2 cm and is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The scene depicted in this artwork exudes an ethereal atmosphere that immediately captures our attention. A young woman stands near a window, her gaze fixed on something beyond our view. The room is dimly lit by candlelight, casting long shadows across the stone walls. Outside, a snowy landscape stretches into the distance, with a medieval church tower rising above the village below. The wintry ambiance is further enhanced by a spiral staircase leading up to unknown heights. The female figure's delicate nightdress billows around her as she ascends these stairs with an air of wistfulness. Stars twinkle in the clear night sky above her head while her breath mingles with the cold air. Millais' meticulous attention to detail brings this nocturnal scene to life, evoking feelings of tranquility and contemplation within us as we observe this enchanting moment frozen in time. "St Agnes Eve" invites us into its mystical world where dreams blend seamlessly with reality—a testament to Millais' mastery of pre-Raphaelite artistry and his ability to capture both beauty and emotion through his brushstrokes or pen strokes in this case
