right, i looked at this earlier but wasnt sure what i was meant to observe. its a real mirror? is that MTBAM in the background or a painting? ah its a painting i can see the poster !!! so much to take in isnt there – brilliant x
It was an Anthony Browne exhibition in the museum. The man peeping around the corner in the background is the author, but it's a cut-out. It is a real mirror and The Boy is looking at the reflection of the man painting the sky blue, the gorilla watching and the cutout figure. I really like this picture but I guess others don't as it has no comments for quite a few viewings.
what a fab picture, and so much to stimulate our senses, so much going on, and very cleverly done. I would probably have to have kept turning round and making sure everything was where it appeared it should be

What a wonderful mirror – I love how quizzical The Boy looks.
