Bold, thick eyebrows; frowns, wrinkles, smoker, quiet, thoughtful-looking, and serious. The father devoted most of his life to work and providing for his family until his retirement. The job in the furniture company was so stressful that he used to take it out on the family by being a critical father and husband.
