[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4600349, member: 2844"]I know you didn't.:kiss: But that's not what I meant. There are round eyes in East Asia too, like the girl I posted, who was born with big, nearly round eyes. And East Asian people have been in contact with 'rounder-eyed' people from India and the Malay world for thousands of years. So they are familiar with different eye shapes.:) And as you see, Richard Gere has narrow eyes, as have many people of European descent.;) Epicanthic fold, the skin fold that starts over the inner corner of the eye. It also occurs in non-East Asian people. And to complicate matters, it doesn't occur in all East Asian people.:hungover: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold[/URL] Or slanted eyes, if they actually are slanted. But eye shapes have nothing to do with how people copy paintings. If people with an epicanthic fold, whatever their origin, see more rounded eyes on an original, they paint more rounded eyes on the copy.;) In this case we don't know who painted the plaque, or if they had an epicanthic fold, all we know is that they were European.:)[/QUOTE]
