More about this artwork

Explore an intriguing snapshot from Peter Newell's *The Rocket Book* (1912) in Plate 09 of the series, which presents a comical and fantastical moment in vibrant, monochromatic tones. In this piece, we observe a character, dressed in a nightgown embellished with stars, his hair and facial expression struck by sudden astonishment. He seems both surprised and alarmed, peering at a geyser of water spurting dramatically from the floor of a seemingly serene room. This unexpected eruption captures Newell’s characteristic blend of whimsy and chaos, leaving viewers delighted and intrigued.The setting is minimalistic, focusing viewers' attention on the interaction between the character and the bizarre occurrence. The use of soft blues enriches the nighttime ambiance, highlighting the unexpected and almost magical quality of the event. This painting is a splendid example of Newell’s ability to merge the ordinary with the extraordinary, making it a captivating visual treat that stirs the imagination.
