Milton's Dream of His Deceased Wife

Charles West Cope

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person lying in bed, covered by a blanket. They are lying on their side with one hand under their head and the other on their face. The person has medium-length tousled hair and a partially visible face turned towards the viewer. The bed is next to a window, with a small table holding an open book and a lamp. A window in the background reveals a cross against the moonlit night sky. The room is dimly lit.
