Or, if you want to stick to the more literal translation, "bright and knowing eyes" could also work. In which case "bright" would be the translation for the term "esperto". Just sounds better this way around than "knowing and bright". IMHO.
... with a keen and knowing look/expression
| Thanks Jennifer! That's another way to look at it. |
| agree |
Lara Barnett
: I think "Knowing" works well here. Definitely use "look" or "look in her eyes".

'Lively' não tanto.
Também confesso que não consigo entender o que são olhos espertos...
