Whose head is this horse’s?
Which horse is in front? The clues that don’t lie

Here are the points to observe to “unlock” the image:
The mane: ask yourself if it falls in a direction that is consistent with the neckline. A mane that naturally follows the curve of the neck reinforces the idea of the foreground. Conversely, if it seems off-center or artificially posed, it’s often a sign that our brain has reversed the roles.
The reins: they are a key clue. Observe their continuity: do they logically align with the horse you think is in front? If their trajectory seems more consistent with the other horse, it is generally that horse that is in the foreground.
Neck muscles: a neck that appears more taut and dynamic suggests movement and proximity. We spontaneously associate the foreground with sharper volumes and more visible muscle tension.
Outlines and small shadows: these are the real troublemakers. A fragment of a face, a darker area, or a junction line can indicate that what was thought to be the background is actually in the foreground.
