About this work

Description

In the text, Lavater writes that despite the gentleness in the profile, on "consulting the eye, the forehead, and the chin, I must ascribe to it only very ordinary faculties. The under part of the nose and the upper lip rise somewhat, but very little, above mediocrity"
