Outline of a Lady

I took the picture below the other day in our kitchen.

The curved line is a shadow cast by the power cable of our electric iron which was sitting on the ironing board (you can see a little of both in the picture). This is just the way it fell naturally.

I think it looks amazingly like the outline of a woman's head.

In fact, it reminds me of the young lady in Vermeer's "The Girl With The Pearl Earring".
