Human face affected by attention.

Human face affected by attention; lithograph after C. Le Brun

Attention. The effects of attention are to make the eye-brows sink and approach the sides of the nose, to turn the eye-balls toward the object that causes it, to open the mouth, and especially the upper part; to decline the head a little, and fix it, without any other remarkable alteration. Bears number: 2. As this print bears the number 2 and the identical plate in the Sayer folio at the Wellcome Institute bears the number 3, we may infer either that page 2 (containing a brief description of Le Brun's theory of the passions) was omitted from later volumes of the same folio, or that copies of the prints were published as a series, again without the text.
