Does anyone know the actual story behind this, then?
Erm, I think we can guess:
"Darling! I'm home! Look what I found round the back of the brewery- a slightly creepy surrelist painting of uncertain provenance!"
"Fantastic, love, but I'm not really sure it goes with the curtains."
"Oh, no problem. I'm sure I can get a bob or two for it down the junk shop."
"No, wait. I've got a better idea. Let's punt it out on EBay with a disclaimer saying that it isn't haunted, none of the figures come to life, the room most certainly didn't smell like gunpowder, we only want our house blessed as a general precaution, and by-the-by, don't purchase this if you've got a dicky ticker."
"Super! Here, let me stand it in front of this lamp so it looks like the picture's glowing, and we'll take a snapshot."
"Sure... hey, now the windowframe by the doll's hand looks like a gun. Let's crop the picture so it looks like the boy is trying to get out of the frame."
"Cool! That ought to do it!"
High fives all round. |
