Classicist Recreates Famous Paintings with Her Son's Toys

On the left is Perseus and Andromeda, a 1602 painting by Giuseppe Cesari now kept in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. On the right is a nearly photo-perfect copy rendered by Sarah Scullin, a professor of the classics at Knox College in Illinois. She made it with her young son's toys.

To my embarrassment, I can't figure out who the pink action figure is.

After shaming me in the comments, have a look at Scullin's other recreations of classical paintings, including works by Goya, Corot, Waterhouse, Draper, and Botticelli.
