A painting from the 1860s has a detail seemingly swiped from modern times: a woman hunched and walking with her eyes seemingly glued to a phone.
As a man crouches in wait to spring a flower on her, she doesn't even look up.
Yup, nothing really seems to have changed beyond the nineteenth century garments.

Glaswegian Peter Russell spotted the 'iPhone' on a visit to the Neue Pinakothek museum in Munich where the painting - The Expected One by Ferdinand George Waldmüller - hangs.
