The image shows the face of a person who expresses the emotion called boredom. This emotional state is reflected on the outside, through different facial expressions. There are forty two individual muscles in the face, that are activated by the respective emotion, and impacts facial expressions on the facial elements: forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, nose, cheeks, lips, chin.
The face is oval, rendered blank, outlined, with a broad forehead and a square jaw. The wide ears, on either side of the edge of the face, are rendered as two vertically elongated ovals, marking the earlobe. The nose, in the center of the face, is long and ends at the base, above the lips, with a convex or curvy tip with wide nostrils, on either side.
The eyebrows under the forehead are rendered as two horizontal lines, embossed, with arched outer corners towards the temples of the face. The eyes are rendered as two blank horizontal ovals, slightly flattened, in the center of which is the eyeball highlighted by a thickened circle.
The mouth under the nose is closed, with the lips sealed together, the lower one, fuller, being rendered blank, and the upper one, thinner, highlighted by a thick wavy line, with the left and right corners slightly lowered.
The hair on the head is cut short, starting from the edge of the forehead, and on either side it frames the face above the ears, left and right, being shown embossed.
In the case of boredom, the eyes are exceedingly narrowed by the lower and upper eyelids. Thus, the bags under them become more prominent, being pulled up the eyes by the muscles below them and rendered by a short line, inclined towards the nose, on either side of the lower part of the eyes. The dropping eyelids are highlighted by a short, horizontal line, above the eyes, just below the eyebrows.
The mouth is closed with the left and right corners of the mouth pulled down by the lateral muscles of the corners of the mouth, which stretch down the lips towards the chin, while the chin is raised a little below the lower lip. At the same time, pits form around the mouth, so that the face looks gloomy and drawn. Between the dimples at the edges of the mouth and the upper cheeks appear wrinkles rendered by two dashed and curved lines, to the left and right of the corners of the mouth.
