Two Laughing Girls

Two Laughing Girls, Pere Borrell del Caso

 These girls are just adorable. The icing on the cake is trompe l'oeil which fools your eye into thinking that the subject is breaking out of the painting into the real world. 

In this case, the girl in front seems to be leaning out of the frame while the girl behind her is pointing with her hand out of the frame. It is a delight.

A Trompe L'œil with a Young Nun peeking out through a Shutter

 I love trompe l'oeil where the painting makes you feel as if something is happening in the real world instead of the art. In this case the nun appears as if she is peering out of a real shutter towards us.
