Rembrandt's engraving of The Three Trees.
What is the different about the painting? The two versions have a very different feel. "In the top version, the group of trees at the right gives an impression of the energy, whereas in the lower version, the trees are devaluated and emphasis now seems to rest on the flat, extended plain".
People usually read texts from left to right. In addition, it is probable that the left half of space attracts greater attention because of the right parietal lobe. Our eyes are first attracted to the left side of the picture and then move across towards the viewer's right side.
