I am looking at a painting but am in the same room as the subject.
(Portrait of HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, 2006, oil on canvas: Ralph Heimans.)

I am looking at a painting but am in the same room as the subject.

Please explain this to me because I'm having another one of my blonde moments. My understanding is that you are looking at this portrait whilst P. Mary of Denmark is present in the same room. If this is so, lad, you're hob-knobbing with the best of them, hey!

This painting is similar to The Cotton Exchange at New Orleans in that it's so real as to be almost photographic.
Try to enlarge the picture and make it wallpaper or a screensaver; look at it again and you'll understand what I'm saying.
Imagine yourself to the right and in front of the Princess but out of the mirror's range . . . take the white area away from the picture . . . and you will be in the room.
