A Converted British Family Sheltering a Christian Missionary from the Persecution of the Druids is a painting by William Holman Hunt that was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1850 and is now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It was a companion to John Everett Millais’s Christ in the House of His Parents. Both artists sought to depict similar episodes from very early Christian history portraying families helping an injured individual. Both stressed the primitivism of the scene.
