How many horses can you find in this classic piece of art? I’m not sure what’s the name of this artist, but the image is great! Much fun. Post your findings in comments section, and don’t forget to check “How Many Faces”, “Dolphins Illusion”, “Pandas Illusion”, “Coffe Bean Man”, “Virgin’s 75 Bands”… more in sidebar, “Spot The Object” section!

    I see four horses (but no apocalypse). To double-check, I counted feet. 16. Seems to work out. :)

    by the way, don’t be tricked into counting feet, it’s an illusion!!! count faces!

    This is such an awesome site. I LOVE IT. Mine is boring in comparison. LOL.

  8. Lou says:

    It’s from a book called “Visions: The Art of Bev Doolittle”

    Or at least, it’s the first page of that book.

  9. Me says:

    There’s 5, lol, wel at least looking straight at it, i dunno if there are hidden top and bottom, i remember a kids book similar to this, from when i was young called Puzzle Island, that was fun, lol.

  10. Neath says:

  11. ot oh says:

  12. just a girl says:

    I counted 5, too.

  13. Dan says:

    Many people only spot 4, until someone says ‘I’ve spotted 5!’ Then, people will look frantically for 5, because they think that there are 5 there.

  14. Cat Stasz says:

    Artist is Bev Doolittle. Check her art on the web. All are incredible!

  15. Varini says:

    Fantastic! I found 4 faces and one back until I read Crissy’s comment and found a face to match the back.

    Here’s a clearer and larger version of this art piece:

    http://www.bnr-art.com/doolitt/pintos.htm

    I see 5 horses, but can only count 17 legs (16 that are obvious, and one to the far right edge—on the smaller horse, only partly showing). Perhaps this is artistic license—more feet might have cluttered the image.

    On a somewhat related vein concerning artistic license, take a look at the famous painting, The Peasant Wedding, by the 16th century painter Peter Bruegel. On the right there is a man in red carrying the large tray. He seems to have an extra foot!

  34. td3k says:

    There are at least 5 horses that I can see.

  35. Ericha Kemm says:

    I think the artist, Bev Dolittle, should be noted when her work is being used. She has created illusionary works for YEARS and deserves recognition. As a fellow artist, I would be very upset to create something so complex and not be credited.

  36. Dash says:

    Jaime’s right its 4 horses and a foal. Dont bother counting legs as some are hidden behind other horses, and one of the foal’s legs is out of the frame.
