A "Psychological" Optical Illusion
The influence of culture and environment can have an effect on our visual perception. This theory was first explored by Robert Laws, a Scottish missionary working in Africa during the late 1800’s. Take a look at the picture below – what you see will largely depend on where you live in the world.
After you have examined the picture, scroll below for a more detailed explanation.



So What Did You See – What is above the woman's head? When scientists showed a similar sketch to people from East Africa, nearly all the participants in the experiment said she was balancing a box or metal can on her head. In a culture containing few angular visual cues, the family is seen sitting under a tree. Westerners, on the other hand, are accustomed to the corners and boxlike shapes of architecture. They are more likely to place the family indoors and to interpret the rectangle above the woman's head as a window through which shrubbery can be seen.

This is called "The Cheating Amish" optical illusion see if you can figure out why
 
I did not understand, what we have to answer about your given illusion figure :(

did you mean the first one I posted with the people in it?
if so it is just explaining how culture can effect our visual perception
people from one area said it looked like she was balancing a tin box on her head while her family sat under a tree
while another group of people from a different culture said it just looked like a family sitting indoors and the thing above her head is a window with a view of some plants from outside
I was simply asking what you saw, if you saw either one of the above or your own visual perception.



you can reveal if your brain predominantly sees horizontal or vertical lines! To begin, you’ll need to fixate the colored image (one on your left) by looking at the fixation spot for about 60 seconds. Now shift your eyes to the fixation spot surrounded by rectangular outlines (on the right). Which afterimage did you see first? .

 
the invisible prince can you spot him?

I saw vertical lines in the previous illusion.
Yes, I have spotted the prince.
