Eyes Follow Observer in Painted Portraits At Wollaston Study
An 19th century note discusses Wollaston's experiment showing that altering eye direction with gestures or features shifts perceived gaze. It contrasts portrait cues with nose and facial feature alignment to explain why eyes appear to track observers as one moves. In a broader urban excerpt, riding horses and downtown life are sketched, then a Queen’s correspondence and the Antarctic exploration outlook are touched on.
