The composite view, also known as twisted perspective, is a way of rendering figures where different body parts are shown in different positions, as if the viewer is seeing them from multiple viewpoints. This technique was commonly used in ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian art to depict the human body in a more complete and natural way, rather than just from one viewpoint. The deer hunt wail painting from Çatal Höyük uses this technique to show the hunters and animals from different angles simultaneously.
