Description
At first, it looks like a pensive face in a Venetian mask. But take a closer look at its features and you will see that it conceals a couple kissing. But why are we more likely to see one face rather than the kissing duo? Our visual system tends to group objects by how we expect to see them. The contours of the mask's ornate headdress together with the background make most observers overlook the kiss.
