The picture shows a drawing of two old faces looking at each other, embedded in a scenario that resembles a well. A bucket hangs between them, suspended from a beam of the well. The whole picture appears to be enclosed in an oval frame and the drawing style emphasises the texture and folds of the faces, giving them an expressive character. It is dated "1976"
The picture is a drawing of a female face with leaves in her hair, suggesting a figure from nature or mythology. Two geese flank her face and a chequered pattern adorns her garment. A jagged line can be seen in the background, perhaps representing a landscape. There is also a candle, which could indicate a symbolic meaning. Below the portrait are the words "la reine des oies" (the goose queen) and a date, possibly the date of creation of the artwork.

The illusionist Sandro Del-Prete has created a unique destination and a fantastical world in the form of Illusoria-Land. He does this using illusions, holography, laser technology and in particular by shaping the human brain, which refuses to see the impossible.

One highlight for children is the rotating disorientation tunnel, where visitors walk along a bridge straight through a kaleidoscope of colors.

Illusoria-Land is open daily, and visitors can wander freely or join a tour.

“Everything we see can also be seen differently – so I often wonder if everything is just an illusion? Reality is a question of perception, and perception inevitably depends on our point of view. Different points of view result in different dimensions. ”
