Book Overview
The Human Figure is an art instruction classic from the Dover Anatomy for Artists series. It belongs in the Art category and is an unabridged republication of the revised 1935 edition, first published by Dover in 1958. The book examines the eyes, nose, mouth, chin, ear, head, trunk, back, hips, neck, shoulders, arm, hand, wrist, leg, foot, and the complete figure.
What You’ll Discover Inside
