Les proportions du corps humain = De proportien van het menschlyk ligchaam
A bilingual French and Dutch treatise on artistic anatomy, published in Amsterdam in 1790 by W. Vermandel and J.W. Smit, with plates by Jacob de Wit and Jan Punt for students of figure drawing. The plates show a standing nude male figure in several poses, drawn in fine line over a superimposed grid with measuring lines and proportion markers, so a designer can study how a body divides into measured units and how figures stand and gesture.
