The Venus Effect by Violet Allen | 5 out of 5

NOTE: this short story doesn't have a description so instead here is a quote from the wikipedia page regarding the effect the title is referencing.

"Viewers of such paintings have the impression that Venus is admiring her own reflection in the mirror. However the viewer sees the face of Venus in the mirror, and they are not directly behind her, therefore what Venus sees in the reflection cannot be the same as what the viewer sees. It would be more logical if the viewer were to conclude that Venus is looking at the reflection of the viewer, or in the case of the original setting, the reflection of the painter."
