An eye-catching still life by René Magritte. Titled The Portrait, this 1935 painting boasts a tilted perspective, angled towards the viewer as if inviting them to take a seat and partake in the food and wine being presented to them.

A closer look reveals that the slice of ham on offer, comes replete with a watchful eye, gazing out unblinkingly as if daring you to slice into it.
