The boy Jesus, with a cut on his hand, stands among his family in Joseph’s carpenter’s shop. John Everett Millais based the setting on a real carpenter’s shop and filled it with symbols of the Crucifixion: the wood, the nails, the cut in the boy’s hand and the blood on his foot. It was exhibited with an Old Testament verse about wounds received “in the house of my friends.” Critics savaged Millais for showing the Holy Family as ordinary working people, and Charles Dickens called the young Christ a “blubbering, red-haired boy in a night-gown.” Painted in 1849–1850 in oil on canvas, 86.4 × 139.7 cm, it is in Tate Britain in London.
