Meaning and scope
Definition
Closed eyes are a facial and ocular state in which eyelids are shut and pupils are not visible. It does not include a reason such as sleep, prayer, rest, or sadness, nor a body pose.
In more detail
When the eye area is visible, closed lids can support stillness or concentration in an expression. Emotion, whether the subject is asleep, and head direction are specified separately. It is distinct from lowered but visible eyes and compositions that hide the eyes.
Includes
- A person or animal with eyelids closed
- A face whose eye area is readable
Excludes
- Pupils directed downward
- Sleeping as an action
- A face with eyes hidden by hair or shadow
What this does not imply
- Sleep or prayer
- A specific emotion
- Face or body direction
Variability
Lid tension can vary from calmness to strong emotion.
