PLATES XXXV. XXXVI. XXXVII. XXXVIII.
A comparison similar to the foregoing^ of the propor-
tion of their parts, may be made between these cha-
racters of which we have given outlines, measured
from the antique : as appears by the following state-
ment.
Antinous. Apollo. Fragment. Hercules.
Proportion of the eyes 5 m. 6 m. 5i •—-
Across the centre
of the face 2 p. 2 m. 2 p. 2. m. —----• ■--.
Across the neck 1 p. 10 m. 2 p. 1 p. 8 m. 1 p. 11m,
Xeck in profile 1 p. 10 m.--1 p. 9 m. 2 p. 5 m.
& 3 p.
It appears, from hence, thatthe face of Hercules
is by no means larger than those of the other sub-
jects, but his neck is of great dimensions, which gives
him a remarkable appearance of strength. The stu-
dent will observe, for himself, the difference in other
measures.
These four plates are instances selected from the
Antique Statues of characters contrasted by their dif-
ferent proportions, as they have been measured with
no mean skill by the famous engraver M. Audran.
The measures marked upon them enable the stu-
dent to distinguish the relative proportions of each,
feature : these should be drawn on a larger scale, and
o 7
the proportion of their measures accurately verified.
