j and h illustration - window

This illustration shows Henry Jekyll at the window of his study as Utterson looks up at him from front of his house. This is before he knows he's being watched and hurriedly closes his curtains. 

The shadow of Edward Hyde appears behind Henry Jekyll. Seeing as this is from the point of view of Utterson, this shows that maybe Henry is starting to find it difficult to hide his evil alter ego and Utterson's suspicions are in fact true. 

I looked at a lot of different art deco stained glass windows for the window's design. The timeline of my interpretation of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a mixture of different eras so in some cases like this, things like old art movements will appear in the backgrounds while the characters will be wearing modern day clothing. This actually happened because I wanted to mix the traditional Victorian London setting of the book with some modern day designs as well as some throwbacks to different eras in time.
