Physiognomy
Physiognomy
(Gk.
physis
, nature and
gnomon
, judge, interpreter) is a theory based upon the idea that the assessment of the person's outer appearance, primarily the
face
, may give insights into one's character or personality. The term
physiognomy
can also refer to the general appearance of a person, object or terrain, without reference to its implied or scientific characteristics.[i attended the mogul painting lecture in Dar Al-Athar and it was so wonderful -i must say it is one of the greatest from this season-, the lecturer was Goswami's student who is one of the great readers of Indian Paintings whom i attended a really interesting workshop with him and some of the cultural center friends. in the formerly mentioned lecture, she showed us a couple of portraits in which she referred to this field of knowledge to describe. i never heard of it and i was interested! this is its definition i'm very willing to know more about it]
