Spooky Painting

This painting became an internet sensation in 2000, when put up for sale on eBay. The sellers claimed that the children in the painting moved at night, sometimes leaving the picture. This website shows some close up photos which show the disturbing details of the painting. Neither of the children have eyes, but perhaps the most unsettling feature are the tiny hands pressed against the glass of the door behind them. The artist was commissioned to paint a sequel to this work, showing the characters in it decades later. This was the result.
