The Room of Sublime Wallpaper (II)

Looking in, the viewer sees the back wall of a room, wallpapered with newspaper, containing a salon-style hanging of landscape paintings.  Upon entering the room the illusion is shattered as it becomes apparent that the "paintings" are actually mirrors reflecting the landscapes painted on the wooden panels that make up the walls of the room that are not visible from the outside.
