Shadows of Protection in a Gothic Library

More about Shadows of Protection in a Gothic Library

A somber woman with dark hair dressed in a high-necked black Victorian gown stands protectively with her arm around a young girl, also in a dark dress, who clings to her in a dimly lit, Gothic-style room. The room is a library with tall wooden bookshelves lining the stone walls, filled with books. A large arched window with intricate tracery fills the background, revealing the faint light of a full moon outside. Shafts of light from the window cast stark shadows of the window panes onto the stone slab floor, partially illuminating a porcelain doll, numerous wooden blocks, and a distressed rocking horse with a brown saddle and red bridle.
