Lost-and-found contour works heavily with lighting in the drawing, painting, photograph, etc. Many times, an edge will disappear into darkness, and the viewer has to use the 'clues' to fill in the rest. Our eyes act as if they know what the entire picture looks like even though it is not there.
This picture shows a face being partially covered by lines of darkness and shadows. We can see the lips, nose, and one eye. The rest of the scene must be put together by our own mind because the light does not reveal it.
