About the piece
Painted in 1849, this significant work by Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood founder William Holman Hunt showcases the movement's dedication to archaeological accuracy and brilliant, jewel-like color. The composition captures a converted British family offering protection to a Christian missionary, juxtaposing a tender interior scene with a glimpse of Druidic persecution in the background landscape.
