THE FRONT FACE.

29

Divide the upper portion into 3 parts, and this

will give the opening of the mouth . .1st.
The depth of the upper lip . . . . 2nd.
The space between the upper lip and the nose 3rd.

The width of a lip from the point of the under lip will
give the commencement of the chin.

The ear is equal to the length of the nose, and parallel
to it. Just above the ear is the widest part of the head,
equal to 1 face, or | of a head.
• The eye is about J-th of this measure.

The space between the eyes is equal to the width of an
eye; therefore, by dividing the line into 5 parts, we shall
determine the size and situation of the eyes, and the space
between them.

If lines parallel to the larger diameter were drawn
from the corner of the eye on each side of the nose, they
would give the width of the nostrils ; so that the nostrils
are the width of an eye.

The mouth is a trifle wider than an eye.
