Abstract
Now, if you were asked, "Did you see what is in the picture?" and answered "No," your companion might reasonably say that you did not see the picture after all. This he could say on the strength of the other part of the concept of a picture. To see a picture in this sense is at least to see what it pictures, and this is what is "in" it. Your dog never sees the picture, in this sense. As for you, you normally see, or look for, what is "in" the picture, tending to overlook the picture in the first sense; such that, having noticed what appears in the picture, you would have to go back for another look at it to answer questions about how high above the floor it was hung, what sort of frame it had, how the paint was put on the canvas, etc.
