Helen of Troy (1867) by Frederick Sandys (English artist, lived 1829-1904). A sulky sideways glance and lowered forehead. This painting is connected to an illustration of Helen with a "spoiled child look" as Troy burns in the background.

This is by Paul-Adolphe Rajon (1842-1888) after #FrederickSandys (1829-1904) 'Suzanne Rose', 1875. It's (I suspect) a proof etching on thin paper. The original Sandys painting of 1861 is in the #Cleveland Museum of Art and can be seen at http://www.clevelandart.org/art/1979.81
