from the lower part of the hair to the lower part of the fore^
head ; the fecond from thence to the under part of the noftrils j
the third to the lower part of the chin. See plate XXV.
Thefe three lines being framed, draw a little crooked ftroke
with a coal or chalk, out of the right line that may reach from
the top of the forehead to the eye-brow; from whence draw
away the Hope line, bending at the end.
To place the nofe, either long, fhort, grofs, or thin, as you
would have it, ending that at the fecond difiance, where the
noftrils end ; then fubdivide the remaining third part in the
midft, where the mouth fhould be placed for the parting of the
upper and under lips; then frame the chin, having regard to the
perpendicular line, that it fall not out of the middle of the chin,
adjoining thereto the under chin down to the throat pit.
Then with the other two dividing lines, the one from the
top of the forehead downwards, and ends in the midft of the
back part of the ear, the other proceeds upwards from the chin,
afcending till that meet with the fuperior defcending line, whofe
interfection directs the ear, that the circumference thereof ftretch
not too far.
Thus take the upper part of the forehead, and defcribe a
great circular line about to form with that the roundnefs of the
head unto the nape of the neck, keeping the proportion that.na-
ture teaches; and from thence downwards form the reft: of the
reck, obferving to make the tip of the ear not to exceed the
lo wer part of the noftrils.
So you may have the head in what pofition you pleafe, fo this
abandon not the other two lines, each concurring in their due
points.
To draw a Head with a foreright face. To do this, form a
perfect oval, which divide in the midft with a line the longeft
way, i. e. a perpendicular line; divide this line into three equal
parts, allowing a fourth of one of the three parts for the hair in
the forehead ; the fir ft for the forehead, the other for the chin.
See plate XXV.
In the midft of thefe the mouth is to be formed, always tak-
ing care that the eyes be in one line, and the crofs line of the
nofe and mouth muft always be correfpondent to the crofs-line,
where the eyes are placed; and the eyes muft be the length of
one eye diftant from the other, and their inward corners muft be
perpendicularly over the outfide of the noftrils ; but, to make the
ears in a forcright face proportionable, they muft be much fore-
shortened by forefhortening, by which is meant that the eye
does not fee the full latitude or" it.
The proportion of the length of the ear is from the eye-brows
to the bottom of the noftrils, and then it is to join the neck
i with
from the lower part of the hair to the lower part of the fore^
head ; the fecond from thence to the under part of the noftrils j
the third to the lower part of the chin. See plate XXV.
