All hallowe’en 1895

John Collier’s 1895 oil painting, "All hallowe’en," features a young woman in a white nightgown standing before a mirror, with the reflection showing her in a long white gown lit by a candle. The dark tones of the room create a sense of mystery and foreboding, reminiscent of the spooky atmosphere associated with Halloween. The woman’s pensive expression and the flickering candlelight enhance the eerie mood of the painting. Collier was a prominent British artist known for his masterful use of light and shadow, contributing to the captivating visual effect of this artwork.
