Philipp Otto Runge’s *Evening*, from his series *The Times of the Day*, depicts a celestial scene with a central female figure representing twilight. The female figure is surrounded by cherubic figures and stars, symbolizing the night sky. Runge's *Times of the Day* series, which was never completed, explored the cyclical nature of time and the beauty of nature, as well as the spiritual and mystical aspects of the natural world. The artwork’s intricate details and delicate lines capture the peaceful and introspective atmosphere of dusk.
