Piece of the month - What do you see

[figheadair]

Inspired by comments and support on various threads I thought it might be fun to post images of some old pieces over the coming months with the aim at getting people to think about historic pieces and encourage them to see rather than just look. I thought it might be interesting to let people add comments and generally discuss the piece of the month and then at the end of the month I'll post the technical information.

Good idea?
