However, in addition to the rules laid down in the preceding article, we add the following, which have been approved by Sir Joshua Reynolds, by no means a contemptible judge of the art:—
1. That from the crown of the head to the forehead is the third part of a face.
2. The face begins at the root of the lowest hairs that grow on the forehead, and ends at the bottom of the chin.
3. The face is divided into three proportionate parts; the first contains the forehead or brow; the second, the nose; and the third, the mouth and chin.
4. From the chin to the pit between the collar-bones, is two lengths of a nose.
5. From the pit between the collar-bones to the bottom of the breast, one face.
6. From the bottom of the breast to the navel, one face.
7. From the navel to the genitories, one face.
8. From the genitories to the upper part of the knee, two faces.
9. The knee contains half a face.
