在绘画肖像中，观察者的品味和坐着的人的面部取向之间的关系作为坐着的人的性别的函数进行了研究。肖像画的历史趋势是，被照者的左脸比右脸更有可能转向观看者，这种侧偏在女性身上比男性身上更强烈。正确的取向和扭转博物馆的肖像被视为受试者谁给评级的“喜欢”的肖像作为一个整体（实验1）和“吸引力”的坐在（实验2）。只有女性的肖像表现出了左右差异，无论方向或评级类型如何，都倾向于右而不是左。这些发现与肖像画中与性别有关的偏见的历史模式背道而驰。他们认为，大多数女性被画成一个对她们不利的方向。
The relationship between observers' taste and the sitter's face orientation as function of sitter sex in painted portraits was investigated. The historical tendency in portraiture is that the sitter's left side of the face is more likely than the right to be turned towards the viewer and this side bias is stronger with women than with men. Correctly oriented and reversed museum portraits were viewed by subjects who gave ratings of “liking” the portrait as a whole (Experiment 1) and for “attractiveness” of the sitter (Experiment 2). Only portraits of women showed a left-right difference with right favored significantly over left, irrespective of orientation or type of rating. These findings go against the historical pattern of the sex-related bias in portraiture. They suggest that most women are painted in an orientation which is less favorable to them.
