Commentary
Ces deniers se répartissent en deux classes ; le droit de la première est assez fin, avec un traitement relativement naturaliste alors que le droit de la seconde est très stylisé avec un gros œil en amande et un nez terminant le front.
These funds are divided into two classes; the right of the first is quite fine, with a relatively naturalistic treatment while the right of the second is very stylized with a large almond-shaped eye and a nose ending the forehead
