this one doesn't look like straight pre-raphaelite painting, it's more realistic in shadows and lines i think, but it's very interesting, that this pre-raph mood is still preserved here.
Thanks Natalis, I do wander round the theme a bit and genre paintings like this interest me a lot. Is almost like a photo but adds depth and texture, like the red cheeks of the boy.
yes, it's more intense than in other images...
