ffffffound!

my great grandmother painted this bleak scene at some point in the 1920s. i always thought that it was depicting lassie about to enjoy a tasty winter meal. my kid-sister maintained that it was showing a dog rescuing a stray lamb.

a few days back my kid sister emailed me this link, which shows that great granny was actually plagiarising the work of acclaimed victorian painter walter hunt. the title of the original is found. my kid sister pointed to this as proof of her theory, while i maintain that it further proves my own.
