In this boy's bedroom, a replica of the child's football jersey is painted as
though it were actually hanging on the wall above his bed. Also, above the
chest on which he displays a collection of trucks, a shelf was painted with his
football helmut and shoes. The 3 dimensional effect was achieved by not just
painting the shelf and objects on it, but also the shadows on the wall, as they
would naturally occur. Thus, the word "trompe l'oeil", which is French, for "to
fool the eye"!.
