"See, in this way, the face on the right side from our point of view looks like a man's face, doesn't it?" <pic8>

"What? Oh, sure, but the face on the left side is......"
"Yes, it is a woman's face."
"What does that mean?"
"This means that this painting depicts two people, a man and a woman, side by side. From the position of the painter, Leonardo, perhaps the one in the front is the man and the one on the left is the woman."
"How do you know?"
"Because of the direction of their gaze."
"Gaze?" ＜pic9＞

"The right eye of the supposed male figure is facing forward, and the left eye of the supposed female figure is looking slightly to the left of the female figure."
"That's right."
"So the supposed male figure is a little closer to the painter, Leonardo, than the supposed female figure."＜pic10＞

"So you are saying that the gap between the two paintings reflects their positional relationship?"
"Probably."
My sister lua was looking at the painting with her left arm at her waist, her right elbow on the back of her left hand, and her right thumb slightly cupped in her mouth. It is her habit when she is thinking.
