A painting from the 18th century, titled 'The Expected One' by Ferdinand George Waldmüller, has sparked a fascinating debate about time travel due to the depiction of a woman seemingly holding a smartphone. Currently displayed at the Neue Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany, the artwork features a young woman engrossed in what appears to be a phone while a man presents her with a flower. This peculiar interpretation began around 2017 when art enthusiasts noticed the modern resemblance of the object in her hands. Peter Russel, a former Glasgow government officer, remarked on how advancements in technology have altered the context of the painting, suggesting that viewers today see the woman as engaged with social media rather than a hymnal or prayer book, as would have been the case in the 19th century. While many believe the object resembles an iPhone, which was launched in 2007, the debate continues without concrete evidence supporting the time travel theory. The phenomenon has parallels with other historical artworks, including a claim by Tim Cook, former Apple CEO, about a smartphone-like object in a 350-year-old painting in Amsterdam.
