Art is in the eye of the artist. I’m a photographer, and people sometimes want me to teach them. My standard answer is, you have to see the picture before you can take it.
I’m so glad that I took a bunch of art history classes back in college. And not just so that I could recognize and get comics like this.If you’re into old art, check out “That Is Priceless” strip here on GoComics. The dude does some creative captioning.

I don’t remember whose, but there was a great scale model of this in someone’s model train layout.
