They always had them in my history books. Sometimes they were purple or green though, because I didn't always have the right colours in my pencil case. Nov 25 04, 1:46 AM

I was just looking at some portraits on the net and some have eyebrows and some don't seem to have much, so I don't know if they actually didn't have them or if it was a popular way or painting at the time. Nov 25 04, 1:49 AM

As the most famous person to be painted without eyebrows is the Mona Lisa, I'm guessing it was high fashion not to have them in the Renaissance era. Nov 25 04, 4:45 PM
