Hand Illusion

The Elephant? 


The artist of this painting remains unknown, but at first sight it appears to be an elephant. The qualities of the elephant’s skin are rough and wrinkly just like the painting portrays. At a much closer look, a man’s hand is formed and the eye was tricked into believing it was an elephant drawn. It is such a well painted elephant with the eyes appearing so real and even the tusk looks as if it were floating; the different shades of grey going from dark and light emphasize on the lighting angles and creases. The trunk is also forms perfectly on the body of the elephant.
