This marble bust is a classical example of "trompe l'oeil" ("deceive the eye") technique, which amazes me. It's sculpted as if the girl is wearing a transparent veil on her face. And it doesn't matter which angle you look from, how close - the illusion never breaks.
This one is from 19th century, and is kept at Banksfield museum, England.
I'm sure you make such discoveries too from time to time. Share with me:) you won't lose anything.
