John Everett Millais, "Trust Me"

FANDOM NAME: "Trust Me"
Older Victorian gentleman in hunting dress looks accusingly at woman holding letter behind back
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Well, just look at it. The guy is demanding to read the woman's letters. She's probably his much-younger wife, but she could be any other woman under his roof: sister, daughter, ward. In this milieu, he has the absolute right to read her letters, so there's a delicate tension here. Is he right? Are the letters somehow incriminating? Or is he wronging her? Or is she hiding them because they're, like, about a space alien. Or a vampire. Or a vampiric space alien.

Man, I love story paintings.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Look up!
