I think it does not matter if the woman in the picture is young or old. Maybe the artist is trying to tell, that early young adult women are not easy to detect ? like ages 18+ ?

I couldnt recognize anything except for a human like blob wearing a fur coat.

I only see a young woman looking away, none of these comments help...

Perspective is wrong since we should be seeing the nose and mouth from the side (and only a little of one eye), but maybe this helps?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's perfect. I have no idea what this is supposed to help with but it's perfect.

She has... your eyes.

The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman's neck that is the mouth of the old woman.

At first I only saw the young woman too.

That only barely looks like a face of an older woman.

"can I see your ID? Wait I mean" (prolonged screaming) ".....hh oh wait can I see your ID again?"

So as the old woman, does she kind of look like a cartoon turtle?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I don't necessarily see turtle but it's a more cartoonish depiction than the younger woman.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah, definitely

In my late teens I had a similar poster in my room with double meaning.

Warning, a bit NSFW

This one is better than the op

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I like that. Accurate in my teens and well beyond.

That's pretty cool! I love pictures like that. My grandfather, who was a really good artist, liked to draw faces for me that would change into a different face if you turned it upside-down. Sadly, I only have one left and it's only a xerox.

As a kid I could see both instantly but today it took me several minutes

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The proportion of the bartender and the woman makes it as the young woman is the main one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

That's a really good point, in fact now that you said this I can easily see the old woman face lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I can't see it in the comic posted by op but I can see it in other comments posting the original optical illusion image

I had to originally squint at the original optical illusion image to get my mind to register it
