Sir John Everett Millais’s “Red Riding Hood” (1864) depicts a young girl in profile, her face partially obscured by a vibrant red hood. The Pre-Raphaelite artist employs a simple, almost stark background to highlight the figure, who appears to be on her way to deliver a basket of goods. The work's realism and the girl’s innocent gaze create a captivating and memorable image, reminding viewers of the classic fairy tale's inherent themes of danger and innocence.
