Sir John Everett Millais-PensivePensive by John Everett Millais was painted after he had moved away from the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This was more inspired by Georgian Golden Age which was common for Victorian-era art. During this period it was uncommon for artists to commit to giving child subjects a sense of inner life. Therefore, the young girl looks almost like a life-like porcelain doll.
