What a beautifully chaotic scene! (Hint: Imagine the scene as a film clip with all the motion involved.) Can you spot four details that convey this chaos?
What has she been trying to do? Dance? Get dressed? ...
(Here's another painting depicting the same character but in an earlier moment.)
How is she reacting in the midst of this chaos? With giddy excitement? Confident mastery? ...
What's going on outside? Does it seem to fit with the scene within?
What happened in this room to cause this wild scene?
(This question is answered with some knowledge of the background story--the title of the painting is The Lady of Shalott,by William Holman Hunt. The scene is based on a poem by Alfred Tennyson's, which is beautifully performed to music by Loreena McKennitt. Can you find the moment the poem depicts?)
