Painted in the 1860s, modern eyes view its subject as totally engrossed in the device.
A 150-year old painting has left art lovers speculating, as its subject appears to be scrolling on an iPhone.
The oil painting depicts a man crouching in the shade with a flower as the lady walks in his direction, totally engrossed in what she's holding. Unfortunately, those hopeful of this theory will be disappointed to hear that experts have offered a more realistic explanation, reports the Mirror. The painting first went viral online back in 2017 while hanging at the Neue Pinakothek Museum in Munich, Germany.
