The Age-Revealing Portrait: A Test of Observation and Intelligence

   

A clever drawing by two Australian psychology professors has captivated foreign university students. Initially, the sketch appears to depict an elderly woman.

 
 
 

However, upon closer inspection, a hidden image of a young woman emerges.

 
 
 

This optical illusion not only assesses observation skills and intelligence but also seemingly reveals the viewer’s age.

 

 

Research suggests individuals over 32 tend to see the elderly woman first.

 

Those under 32 typically notice the young woman initially.

To uncover the youthful image, look for the young woman’s profiled left cheek, which doubles as the elderly woman’s chin.

This intriguing portrait challenges perception and sparks curiosity.
