That river in Egypt

"This is John Ruskin's Dead Chick, painted by William Holman Hunt in the 1800's (probably). William lived between 1827 and 1910 so using my expert detective skills I am assuming it was painted some time between those dates. Up close you can see the brushstrokes, but I honestly thought it was a photo when I saw it from a distance. John Ruskin (who's dead chick this supposedly is) and William have a connection to John Everett Millais, an artist who will show up later. It's like a connected Naturalist Painting Universe, Marvel dreams of things like this"
