This type of expression study was a subject of interest to classical painters. We remember that Leonardo da Vinci was interested in this type of study. Charles Le Brun is also well known for his attempt to codify the different forms of expression. It was an almost scientific attempt to find the most accurate way of reproducing an emotion by looking at the features of the face, right down to the different muscles.
