A draped figure of a woman encountering a naked man on a hillside. Burne-Jones used this symbolically as Day and Night which he developed into image number XXXVIII in The Flower Book. In 1870 Burne-Jones had first explored the idea in a pair of paintings which were companions to The Four Seasons, Day appeared as a naked boy holding a flaming torch and Night as Maria Zambaco in a blue garment extinguishing a torch.
