The Piper (by John Everett Millais) Doormat

This design features a painting by the English artist Sir John Everett Millais, who was one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It shows a boy dressed as a military piper playing a tune on his pipe as three young girls avidly listen to his music. The boy is leaning against a tree as he plays his pipe, and the three girls are lying on the grass beside him, huddled close together for comfort. They are all in a tranquil area of woodland. There are appears to be a military encampment with soldiers in the far distance. There is another boy standing beside the piper, also listening to the music, and there is a drum on the grass, which suggests that the other boy may be a military drummer.
