The eyelid pull: taking a finger and pulling down the bottom eyelid. This gesture has various meanings in different cultures but is always assertive and signifies a warning to be watchful, alert or that "you are not fooling me"
A portrait of artist Niels Pugholm that combines my love for classical hand studies and the work by Desmond Morris on the meaning of gestures, body language and our species in the eyes of a zoologist. Be watchful.
