Fantastic Picture

http://www.film-philosophy.com/index_files/image002.jpg

It is one of those pictures that is too perfect to be 'natural'.

I think it is absolutly breathtaking. The gentleman with the 'old' mustache and the damsel in distress huddled in the cold. What is he doing, is she waiting for someone, are they together, did they lose their home to a fire and that peice of furniture is all that was rescued. Not many peices of art makes me think like this.

The only thing I could think that would make it more compelling would be if she was holding a baby.

When I first saw this image you could have knocked me over with a feather.
