Oldest Portrait

This 27,000-year-old cave drawing may be the oldest human portrait on record. It was found on the wall of a cave near Angoulême, France.

Drawn with Calcium carbonate, and using the bumps in the wall to give form to the face, it features two horizontal lines for the eyes, another for the mouth and a vertical line for the nose.
