_Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-what-emotion-do-you-see-on-this-face-detail-from-famous-painting/989748/1))_

This picture is a detail from a famous painting. I’m interested to know, what emotion(s) do you read in this expression?

I’ll give my own thoughts after a few other people have answered.

Anyone who recognizes the painting please do not answer.
