몽상 by Sir John Everett Millais, 1868

Millais, a child prodigy who entered the Royal Academy at age 11 and later founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, created this dreamy scene later in his career. A young woman with flowing hair gazes out from a window completely engulfed in climbing vines, her chin resting on her hand in deep contemplation. The date 1868 is scribbled at the bottom, marking a time when Millais was becoming the most popular painter in Britain, capturing illustrative moments that appealed to the Victorian public's love of romance.
