The painting featured is "Night (No. 2)" by William Orpen, created in 1907. The work depicts a couple in an intimate moment, in a nocturnal setting, with a window in the background. The atmosphere of the painting conveys a sense of passion and emotion. Orpen, known for his boldness and talent, captures the joy of the early years of his marriage to Grace, who married in 1901. The painting is one of a series of works created by the artist that year.
