Jenny Nyström — Woman at the Window on New Year's Eve

A young woman in a green dress leans out of an open window into the cold winter night — below, a snow-covered church clock tower glows against a deep blue, frost-white sky as the hour approaches midnight. It is the most atmospheric of all the New Year scenes in Nyström's collection: romantic, literary, and still. She is watching the year turn rather than celebrating it. From the Jenny Nyström collection — a mood card for winter night lovers, New Year postcrossers, and admirers of early 20th-century atmosphere.
