Depth is a visual cue that is exploited in the picture above. This picture shows different discrepancies dealing with depth. One of the first things one notices is the two men in this picture. When viewing both men, they seem to be the same size. These two men seem relatively far away due to their size. The mind knows the approximate size of a man and with this in mind, seeing them smaller, the mind concludes they are far away. Looking at the man on the left, one notices that he is sketched on an easel. An easel is a big object in reality, but realizing where the easel is standing, the depth perspective changes. The easel is on a chess board, which is small in comparison to a regular size easel. The chess pieces on this chess board confuse one’s depth perception some more; these chess pieces are large when comparing them to the easel. This implies that the easel, along with the man sketched on the easel, is very small. Finally, one notices the other man standing far from the room with the chess board. In conclusion, the man on the right is much bigger than the man on the left [on the easel]. This picture uses depth in an interesting but confusing way. The mind can fill in the blanks to approximate the size of objects due to the visual cue of depth. Depth can be shown in different ways, as this picture shows.
