What do you see? Is it a profile of a young and beautiful lady, or do you see an old wich with huge and ugly nose? I usually focus more on the young ladies ;)

i have used this picture on a number of occassions in groups and usually there is a 50/50 split who sees young or old. But I just discovered all who see old = dominant left eye and all who saw young = dominant right eye. Any comments?????
I am blind in my right eye, and can’t see the Hag. That is a comment.
i cant see good in my left eye sadly ;)
Well the 2 women are scaled differently. I think that is why people who do not instantly see both have an issue finding one or the other. Once they see either young or old they try to find the alternate image and assume that the face will have similar proportions, not to mention that one is facing toward us and the other is facing away.
I am also blind in my right eye, but can’t see the young lady…only the old hag.
*** SPOILER ALERT***
the left eye of the “hag” = the left ear of the “beauty”.
I can see both the young woman an the old hag.
wenkz. i can see both the old and the young lady.
So many hair for the young lady with the small face!!!
I find it helpful to look at center of pic for old lady and at the blue on the left of pic for young lady
Zomg i know how . People who like anime would see that pic as a young lady cuz anime girls look like this , people who have sympathy for easy things would see an old woman , so try looking outside your thinking , maybe you could find one “.
It took me an hour to see the young lady. Could see only the old woman’s NOSE ! Took me a while to get the nose out of my mind !!
Omg thats well cool! i could only see the young lady for weeks, but ive just found the young girl x
lol meant i could only see the old lady for weeks
Dude it took me forever to see the old woman now i do its like i cant see the young lady lol
Weird.
Just look at the red thing if you want to see the hag and look at the jawline if you want to see the young lady
Thank you – I wouldn’t find the old hag until I focused on the red thing. Thanks!
omg i saw this illusion about 5 years ago and i just found the old lady it wuz easier to find cuz the one i had didnt have any color but thank god this has
Rotate the pic guys..thats the easiest way to find the chick
lol. I could never have seen the old woman if I didn’t read the comments. Now every time I look I see the old woman.
I see both at the same time. O.o
yes I have seen this imagine many times yes that image is used in “groups” in addiciton classes,it`s just how a person persieves things,to the rest of you dummies…..go figure.
I don’t see the old lady at all. The one reply about right eye dominant, you are right in my case; I am heavily right dominant.
I can ONLY see the old lady. That is crazy. Where are the young ones???
i see theyoung lady but then realize her neck is sliced.. and i cry then an old hag appears :*(
noooooooooooo….the slice is a necklace, ever though of that? :P
the story is that if u r a pessimist (see the BAD side of things) u see the hag, but if u r an optimist (see the GOOD side of things) u see the young lady
do u know the source of this story or of this image?
I can’t find the old hag i can only see the young lady
It was really weird, first I saw the young lady and couldnt find the old hag then someone pointed her out (and I got TOTALLY freaked!!!) And I couldnt find the young lady again! :( But now I can find them both. The big give away was defo the mouth/necklace!!! :D Hope I helped!
the red steep wedge
- old womans lips
- young one’s scarf..
watch the old lady and start getting your eyes out of focus…
u will see the Ung one ;
I have seen this optical illusion before, but for some reason it always takes me a while to find the old one..
Is that Normal?
I also noticed the ear of the young, it seems to be a wart on the old ones noes.. Should she be called a witch, or an old hag?
to Taylor: its not the ear that is a wart, it is the ear that is the eye of the old lady. welcome
where is he old ladys eye?
The old lady’s eye is the ear of the young lady..
I saw the young lady first, but I read that right eye dominent people see the hag and left eye dominent people see the young lady, and when i went to an archery class, they said I was left eye dominient so maybe it s true!
I am blind in my left eye and it took me a while to see the young lady, i had to read the descriptions 1st
i cant see the young lady..:|
you will see the young lady from behind. so you can’t see the face of the young lady
to easy
The young lady is looking behind her and the old lady is looking to the side, took me a reaaalll long time to see the young lady though
I saw an old lady, looked up at the description and said ‘omo’ when I caught the sight of the beautiful young lady.
It’s easy for me to see both…
yes, the first time I saw the picture, I only saw the old lady and could not see the young lady but a year later (yesterday) I saw the young lady straight away! So now I can see the old and young lady! It was very, very hard for me to see the young lady the first time i saw the picture! My dad still can’t see the young lady, just the old one! The old lady’s big nose is there and the big nose is the young ladys side of her face!
How you manage to see young lady first? with one glance you see old lady and only after looking ten-fifteen minutes I saw young lady… But I still can’t guess what’s is white scarf of the old lady for the young one..
In my view in the pitcure is old lady but the young is added later :D
For them who can’t see young one: Old’s nose is most of the young’s face look carefully to small additions to the nose which is young’s nose and eyelash
WOW.. after i red the instractions above i managed to see the young lady.(i got obsessed finding her)
An intresting point. Just today i had a lecture about investments. They showed us the picture and we’ve been told, the potential customer who will spot the young woman 1st is keen on investing, the other one is keen on savings
I could only see the Old Lady first, her nose and chin are so prominent as to be unavoidable!
Very focused examination of the top of the big nose reveals a tiny nose and left eyelash of the Young Lady. It all falls into place after that.
The Young Lady’s ludicrously massive hair, hat and fur also trick your eyes!
Everyone says they saw the old hag first. Was I the only one whose eyes immediately pictured the young lady and had to squint a little before I saw the hag?
i cant een see the old vwoman but i can see the young one
It took me while to find the old one I don’t know if that’s normal
I saw the young lady right away and it took me so long to find the old one… I feel special
coolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I see the old lady now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!
I still can’t see the old hag, argh, at first glance, all I see is the young lady, up until now, all I see is the young lady, I have read the descriptions and still can’t see the old hag, argh…
Ok, now I see the old hag, had to cover the image with my hands to see her clearly, but now I can see both so easily, argh, I feel accomplished for now lol
First time I saw this picture was about 12 years ago. I still can’t seem to find the old hag..
i saw the beautiful youung one first- i had to read the comments to find the old one.
woooow for the longest time I couldn’t find the young lady! The old lady’s nose is the young lady’s chin&jaw!!!
i use to can see the young woman now i can only see the old woman
the nostril of the old one is the jaw line of the young one
Yes I also saw it just by reading all your hint.. I was very baffled yesterday and now I know.. The young lady’s chin is the old lady’s nose..
Ok! I was soo frustrated I couldn’t see the young lady!
Solution:
Copy the image and rotate it counter clockwise, you’ll see the young lady/old hag
the most lame illusion ever
If you ask me, I think it’s really cool.
ok, i cannot absolutly find the young lady, and i am not giving up!!!, but erm….. a little help wont hurt, where is the young ladies eyes?
Wow, it took me 5 minutes to find the old lady!
Took me a proper long time to see the young lady xd
When I first saw it, I saw the young lady, but once I saw the hag, I could only see the hag. Bye bye, young lady….
Am I the only one that can’t see the old hag???
At first glance it look like a young women with a hooded coat on. But then I saw the old hag.
help me!!!!! i find the young girl
found it!!!!!!! man took me awhile….
i see the young lady first, but if i look at the ‘ scarf ‘ i see the hag.
I don’t see it. What is this supposed to be a picture of?
For some reason, I only see the young lady! I’ve been trying so hard to see the old lady but I can’t!
OMG! I finally saw the old lady! It sure took me a while to find her! All I saw at first and for a while is the young lady but now I can see both :D I had to focus on the young girl’s necklace(which is the old lady’s mouth) to see the old lady!
I only saw a young girl with a fluffy coat on ????
That was freakin’ awesome. God took me a long time to see the young lady. :D
Haha! That was good.. :D
first time, i saw the young lady only briefly, read the text (was an ad), saw the old lady. couldn’t find the young lady again until i read some descriptions
I was in mr. shropshire’s class learning about fractions . he said to see 2 fractons so he showed us this pic.cool
It took me a long time to see the young lady.All I could see was a big,ugly nose!!!!!!!
can someone help me find the old lady plz
the clue is : the lady’s chin is the old hag’s nose!
I saw this pic a billion times and I could only found the lady. now, thanks to these people who also commments.. I HAVE FOUND IT!
cool!!!!!i saw the young one and then the hag umm!i mean the witch
what the hell !!!!!!!!!!i got freaked on seeing the witch ,i mean the hag. the chick looks cute even though only her back is shown
im getting confused between the hag n the witch
I can see both.
i cant see the witch where is it
AHAHA!!!1 OHMYGOSH! My art teacher has this exact picture and she made us look at it.. we had to make some.
I see a WITCH. but at least I can spell it
i cannot see the old lady at all!!
i can see both. sometimes, i see it young lady.
but sometimes, i see it old, fat lady..
Yeah they showed us this one at school. It’s actually pretty cool :)
i used to only be able see the young lady and I couldn’t understand how people could see an old lady… now I see!
First i saw young lady, then i saw hag and couldn’t see the yund lady anymore D:
I have seen this a thousand times, but it was shown again in one of my classes the other week and the other students were suppose to find the 2 images in it. Everyone found the young lady, but it took them almost 6 guesses to find the old lady. Instead, they found a dog, a unicorn and a few other things I can’t remember. It was really weird.
