So I came to discover this site, all about physiognomy :

Mental functions and hemispheres of a brain.
Analytical physiognomy.
The analytical physiognomy unites analytical psychology and psychophysiology of a brain with physiognomy. According to principles of analytical physiognomy it is possible to speak about ratio of features of a human face with functions of hemispheres of a brain, and also with concepts of analytical psychology which were formulated by C. G. Jung (Carl Gustav Jung).
Namely if to look at a human face then in most cases it is possible to see asymmetry of the right half and the left half that is caused by different psycho-physiological functions of hemispheres of a brain. Functions of the left hemisphere are projected on the right half of face, and functions of the right hemispher are projected on the left half of face, and accordingly agrees to features of the right half of face it is possible to speak about functions of the left hemisphere of a brain, and according to features of the left half of face it is possible to speak about functions of the right hemisphere of a brain. And also according to features it is possible to speak about psychological properties of a human person as the human psychology is connected to functioning hemispheres of a brain. In essence it is possible to correlate concepts of analytical psychology of C. G. Jung to physiognomy of a human face as functions of hemispheres of a brain and the appropriate psychological properties have physiognomic projections.
Rules of analytical physiognomy consist in the following:
Eyes specify the basic psychological direction of a person which can be extraverted or introverted. Extraverts have an active left half of face and an active left eye, and introverts have an active right half of face and an active right eye provided that an active half of face less rather than a passive half of face, and an active eye more open and bright rather than a passive eye.
Psychological direction of a person of extraverts is focused in external world and depends on external world. Psychological direction of a person of introverts is focused in own private world and does not depend on external world.
The used terminology corresponds to concepts of analytical psychology which are formulated by by C. G. Jung (Carl Gustav Jung) in the book "Psychological types" and consequently the given psychological definitions should be understood in a context of formulations of by C. G. Jung.
Within the extraverted or introverted direction of a person there is a realization of mental functions which are specified by eyebrows and a mouth, namely eyes are physiognomic projections of psychological directions of a person, and eyebrows and mouth are physiognomic projections of mental functions from the point of view of analytical physiognomy.
The left eyebrow specifies ethical mental function.
C. G. Jung named this function as emotional (feeling), but emotions are mental processes which in essence are not mental functions and consequently truly to name this function as ethical.
The ethical type of a person understands ethical relations of people, understands sympathy which finds out in individual moods of people.
The right eyebrow specifies logic mental function.
C. G. Jung named this function as cogitative (thinking), but the thinking is a process of activity of a brain as a entire and consequently truly to name this function as logic.
The logic type of a person establishes logic orders and systematizes laws of the world, and also analyzes the facts.
Ethical and logic functions are rational (judging) i.e. these functions are subordinated to consciousness and correspond with the top half of face. Two following mental functions are irrational (perceiving) i.e. these functions are submitted to feelings (sensual perceptions) and correspond with the bottom half of face.
The left corner of a mouth specifies sensory (touch-sensitive) mental function.
The sensory type of a person perceives perceives the world by means of sensations and touch contact to subjects and objects.
The right corner of a mouth specifies intuitive mental function.
The intuitive type of a person has uncertain sensations and consequently perceives subjects and objects of the world in the abstract.
The term "intuition" cannot be understood in everyday value, namely usually the intuition means an incomprehensible guess which arises during thinking, but in a context of analytical psychology the intuition is an irrational mental function which does not submit to rational comprehension.
Thus, hemispheres of a brain determine psychological parameters of a human person, and psychological parameters are projected on the right and left half of a face that allows to apply methods of physiognomy during testing and identification of psychological types in analytical psychology.
the author of this site, further on, compares every emotion to the 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching, discovering 64 emotions related to the psychological types.As it is possible to see in the self-portrait of M. A. Wrubel the left eyebrow is raised in comparison with the right eyebrow that corresponds to active ethical function and passive logic function. The right eye more appreciable also has the greater size in comparison with the left eye that corresponds to active introversion and passive extraversion. The left corner of a mouth and the right corner of a mouth are symmetric, but as a whole corners of a mouth are passive (has no tone) that corresponds to obvious intuitive function and unobvious sensory function

In blue are the irrational types, in red the rationals.
It's interesting, not all emotions can be typed, some expressions are related to uncertain types, that are harmonious (when main functions are both weak-Obvious) or in contrast (when the main functions are both strong-Active), so that it's hard to tell which type one is, for some cases.
here's the relationship with the types and their typical expressions: http://www.emotions.64g.ru/prlev/prlcon4en.htmIn aggregate psychological parameters in M. A. Wrubel's self-portrait correspond with the 58th hexagram IChing that corresponds to 58 psychological type in system of 64 psychological types of analytical physiognomy. Namely the active left eyebrow corresponds with the interrupted line on the sixth top position in hexagram, the passive right eyebrow corresponds with the whole line on the fifth position, the passive left eye corresponds with the whole line on the fourth position, the active right eye corresponds with the interrupted line on the third position, corners of a mouth corresponds with the whole lunes on the second and first positions.
M. A. Wrubel's psychological type in a context of offered system of 64 psychological types corresponds with the 58th hexagram IChing, namely the active left eyebrow specifies the interrupted line on the sixth top position in hexagram IChing; the passive right eyebrow specifies the whole line on the fifth position; the passive left eye specifies the whole line on the fourth position; the active right eye specifies the interrupted line on the third position; corners of a mouth specify the whole lines on the second and first positions.
