Book jacket illustration for the novel Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, republished in 2010. We wanted to represent the emotion and thoughts of the female protagonist by showing her reading. The seventeen-year-old Catherine is obsessed with Gothic novels and confuses what goes on in the books with real life, imagining that her friend's house is a crime scene. 6 1/2 x 5 1/2, acrylic and digital.
