If you already know, don't tell. Shh!
I wish I had half the talent the guy who drew this had.

It's a little similar to a fingerprint I suppose.
Hint: you might be able to tell a bit better by looking at the centre. The forehead and the areas around the edge help too. |

No, not a carving or a lithograph. I'll give another hint: one. |

Made with a single stroke? I mean, never lifting the pencil from the paper before the picture is done? |

Is it (one) continuous line spiraling out from the center? |

| Damn you SeoulFinn! I stared at a picture of Jesus for three minutes... I was going to guess that "his lips move". |

| Ding ding! That's right - it's a single stroke, starting from the centre. It's The Sudarium, done by Claude Mellan in 1649. A friend showed it to me two years ago; I just remembered it today and was able to find it. |

Sorry! I just had a lucky guess after reading his last hint. |

Hmm, I think I'd rather you not kill supreme court judges. Let's keep them alive and stick with cats and abandoned buildings. |
