Hello Rene,
Looking at the top 3 flowers, refer to the flower on the right and then
focus only on the middle petal of the flower. The petal for the whole head. The
face is glancing down slightly to the left hand side of the page. The drawing
looks very "modern".
Regards,
Dana Scott

You all got me.
Which flower is the face supposed to be
on?
I'm afraid I don't see it. I fear that whatever
is there is probably
an artefact.
Cheers, Rene
