Halloween is approaching, and although I do not usually celebrate the occasion, this week's Illustration Friday topic gives me the opportunity to bring out some Gothic mood. Actually, this ghost is quite friendly and far from being scary but its presence brings something unexpected in the static scene, where a pale Emily Dickinson kind of gentlewoman, attended by an aplomb valet, is going to take to the table a bit unattractive watermelon to be enjoyed maybe by the ghost itself. The resemblance of the maiden to the famous Edward Munch's painting should give a disquieting touch to it all. The watermelon? Well, a pumpkin would have been just too obvious.
