Complexity of Art: Imagery and Types

Sometimes I tear the front of a card apart from the handwritten greeting, if the picture is interesting and the text not so much. 

The Scapegoat by William Holman Hunt (1854-55) is one such picture I found filed away.

Although the composition includes an animal, colorful rainbow, and majestic mountain scape, I knew that I couldn't recycle the image to send to just anyone. 

Maybe I'll just keep it for mental exercise. 

What questions would you ask?


Here is a link to a more extended discussion about the piece and the artist:
