AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot write an accurate overview of "disappointment" based solely on an image caption that only provides a painting title and date. To give you a reliable, factual overview grounded in your instruction to base it "ONLY on this context," I would need substantive information about the concept itself, not just metadata about an artwork.

Disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations or hopes to manifest. Similar to regret, it differs in that a person who feels regret focuses primarily on the personal choices that contributed to a poor outcome, while a person feeling disappointment focuses on the outcome itself. It is a source of psychological stress. The study of disappointment—its causes, impact, and the degree to which individual decisions are motivated by a desire to avoid it—is a focus in the field of decision analysis, as disappointment is, along with regret, one of two primary emotions involved in decision-making.
