I found Oryx

"Oryx paused in her activities. She smiled a hard little smile that made her appear much older, and wiped the whipped cream from her mouth. Then she looked over her shoulder and right into the eyes of the viewer - right into Jimmy’s eyes, into the secret person inside him. I see you, that look said. I see you watching. I know you. I know what you want."
Those of you who have read the book will know what I'm talking about (I hope). I was looking through paintings by Martin Pate when I found this Native American scene. Despite the context, the resemblance (as I imagine it) is eerie.
