A 19th-century painting by Ferdinand George Waldmüller, titled The Expected One, is causing a stir because the woman in it appears to be scrolling on a smartphone—thumbs down, eyes glued to the screen. Discovered in 2017, the artwork predates smartphones by decades yet eerily mirrors modern behavior. While some argue it’s just a prayer book, the posture and focus scream contemporary tech obsession. And it’s not alone—Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly saw a similar scene in a 350-year-old painting during a trip to Amsterdam. This visual déjà vu forces us to question whether art is time-traveling or our brains are just projecting today’s tech onto history.
