shapes inside the figure

Question

I am inserting an .eps figure. So is it possible to include some geometric shapes (ellipse, rectangle) inside the inserted eps figure. I googled, but couldn't find a proper solution. Any help would be appreciable.

Your question is very unclear. Do you want to edit the eps and add some shapes (clearly postscript can draw shapes) or do you want to include an unchanged eps and overlay some latex drawn shapes using tikz or picture environment or pstricks etc, any of these are possible — David Carlisle, Dec 19 '14 at 14:00
So you want to add a moustache to Mona Lisa? Seriously, could you give some more details about what you want to achieve? — Bernard, Dec 19 '14 at 14:00
@Bernard, thanks for your response. I will put the question in other way. For. Eg. If there is an image of human face (.eps) inserted into the latex. I would like to make a square over two eyes and an ellipse over the mouth. — user8162, Dec 19 '14 at 14:07
@Bernard I think you should answer with your original comment suggestion:-) — David Carlisle, Dec 19 '14 at 14:26
@bernard.. FInally I think, i didn't get the answer to my question. — user8162, Dec 19 '14 at 14:54
@user8162: It was just a joke, not knowing what to propose without any further details (I hadn't read your comment yet). I'm truly sorry if I hurt you. — Bernard, Dec 19 '14 at 15:06
@Bernard, I will put the question in other way. For. Eg. If there is an image of human face (.eps) inserted into the latex. I would like to make a square over two eyes and an ellipse over the mouth. If this is still not clear, I can give some more examples, if you want.. — user8162, Dec 19 '14 at 15:17
Since it is an .eps image I would do that with pstricks by trial and erors. Maybe this might help. — Bernard, Dec 19 '14 at 15:22

You can use any latex drawing package to draw over an image, tikz, pstricks or here I just use the standard latex picture commands, enhanced via the pict2e package.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pict2e}

\begin{document}

Original:

\includegraphics{man}


enhanced

\includegraphics{man}%
\begin{picture}(0,0)
\put(-80,150){\framebox(10,10){}}
\put(-60,150){\framebox(10,10){}}
\put(-70,140){\oval(20,5){}}
\end{picture}

\end{document}
