9 Human Representations...Can you find them all??





At first glance this image just comes off as strange.  In the upper left there is a bird looking up, perched on top of an ornamental sculpture.  There is a pretty detailed archway with some sort of grass growing around it.  There are two columns along the wall, one on each side of the archway.  There are two people standing in front of the archway.  One is a man and the other is a woman, and she is holding a child.  The sidewalk is made of blocks, and the street is cobblestone.  There is a dog either asleep or dead lying in the street.
When looking more closely, you can make out the depictions of even more human representations.  The man and woman in the archway also make up the profile of a man.  The woman's wrap around her head and torso along with the baby make up the ear.  Her white sash around her skirt make up his collar.  The man standing there makes up the eye, nose, and mustache in the profile.  The light shining through the archway onto the street lines up with the profile in a way that may represent his upper body, and the dog his hand curling in toward his body. 
 There are four faces surrounding the bird in the upper left.  There is one full face looking out at the audience just to the left of the sculpture.  The sculpture itself is of two profiles facing each other.  To the right of the neck of the bird is another bird flying in the sky.  That bird is the eye of the third profile. 
The final face is actually a profile as well.  It can be found by following the grass growing above the archway all the way to the right. You will see part of another sculpture there.  In this case the grass to the left of that sculpture makes up the hair, eyebrow, and eye of the last profile which is also facing the sculpture.
