The Kubrick Gaze...tgf mug shot info.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KubrickStare

The Kubrick Stare is really quite simple to pull off. You simply do the following:

Tilt head down
Look up beneath eyebrows
...and voila! Instant super-creepy look!

It generally signifies that the character in question is either really, really pissed or really, really deranged, and the person they're looking at is really, really screwed. Other times — usually when combined with a smile — it means they're feeling really, really clever (regardless of whether or not they actually are). It's arguably the most easily executed type of Death Glare.

When a show or film utilizes the look, it's often a homage to Stanley Kubrick. Either way, it's really creepy and ominous.

The portrait of Big Brother would be wearing a scowl like rump in his mugshot.
