That's because you'll need to search every single part of this image to find the sailor's wife.

In the image provided by PlayBuzz, we can see what appears to be an old-fashioned painting of a family looking through a telescope.

A young boy and his presumed younger sibling are standing closest to the device, with their parents watching from the doorway.

Elsewhere in the room, we can see two large red curtains, a globe on top of a stool and a large vase with flowers.

With so much colour in the room, it's hard to try and not look everywhere at once.

There's no way to miss the playful dogs - but there's an umbrella in this optical illusion you need 20-20 vision to find

But hidden within the image is the astronomer.

So, without further ado, off you go. Good luck.
