My grandparents in Spain lived in this amazing apartment in Madrid filled with antiques, including a massive 17th century portrait of a man in armor, hanging in the dining room. It had the type of eye that was always directed at you. It was visible from the main hallway and my sister and I hated walking by the entrance to the dining room and see his eyes staring at us, especially at night.
I love the story and how well you've depicted it.
