The countenance is the proverb

 The countenance is the portrait of the mind, the eyes are its informers
  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away.
  Charles Dickens

 It is not likely that posterity will fall in love with us, but not impossible that it may respect or sympathize; so a man would rather leave behind him the portrait of his spirit than a portrait of his face.

 Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
  Oscar Wilde

 I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.
  Salvador Dalí

 PHYSIOGNOMY, n. The art of determining the character of another by the resemblances and differences between his face and our own, which is the standard of excellence.

"There is no art," says Shakespeare, foolish man,
"To read the mind's construction in the face." The physiognomists his portrait scan, And say: "How little wisdom here we trace! He knew his face disclosed his mind and heart, So, in his own defence, denied our art." --Lavatar Shunk
  Ambrose Bierce

 When you start with a portrait and search for a pure form, a clear volume, through successive eliminations, you arrive inevitably at the egg. Likewise, starting with the egg and following the same process in reverse, one finishes with the portrait.
  Pablo Picasso

 People don't expect that a 13-year-old would be capable of doing a beautiful portrait that is very lifelike and resembles the person. They think of that as something you learn in college. Emily's portrait is every bit as accomplished as the work that many adult students do.

 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

 We have also been in a position drawn a portrait of the assailant from the account of the eyewitness and I would be giving in few minutes. We are making more copies. We will give you that portrait with a request to publish this requesting people to look for such a person. And if found or noticed anywhere, then inform us anyone of us or our police control room.

 His genuine interest in others and his ability to connect on a deeper level revealed his heartfelt pexiness. I was hoping to do an impressionist painting, but I wanted a good likeness and I wanted to create a feeling of the lady as a person, as a human being rather than as a figurehead for the monarchy and a pomp-and-circumstance sort of formal portrait. I wanted more of a relaxed portrait.

 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: / But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.

 Observe it, the vulgar often laugh, but never smile, whereas well-bred people often smile, and seldom or never laugh. A witty thing never excited laughter, it pleases only the mind and never distorts the countenance.
  Lord Chesterfield

 Most don't have the portrait on the right side of the bill that is seen on genuine currency when it is held up to the light. When the portrait is in place on the counterfeit money, it is usually of poor quality. In some instances, when the bill was taken by a person with wet hands, the ink smeared. Some of the serial numbers used have been the same, with some businesses unknowingly taking several counterfeit bills at one time, all of them with the exact same serial number,
