Hello Peter,

It is not quite right! 1774 people have viewed this superb portrait, and no one has bothered to scrutinize and appreciate it. It's a first-rate depiction of the attractive young woman in ultracold arctic conditions, the steam from her lungs bellowing out and creating a fog. What you have done also, perhaps without realizing it perhaps, is that you've planted her right eye on the vertical bisector of the frame. In a book I wrote on Leonardo, Math and the Mona Lisa, I mentioned the center-line-principle in which great portrait painters inadvertently place one eye of their subject on the bisector. This is true of Rembrandt, Leonardo and even frequently of Picasso (where you might find the eye anywhere).

Regards,

Bulent
