There is a very famous picture in Art Institute of Chicago

Most view it as a beautiful lady sitting in front of a mirror

Viewed from a different angle it appears to be a skull.

Anyone familiar with it ?

Must have been in a special exhibit.

The title is “all is vanity”. From Ecc

You can see it here. A reminder that things are not actually as they seem.
Or there may be two opposite views of the same object

Which do you see: the beautiful woman or the skull?

I do not know if the picture it is in the Art Institute collection.
