Extent of Motion, Front and Side View Equipoised, Supported on One Leg

George Scharf after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts four line-drawn representations of a human figure shown from different angles: side, front, side, and front. The figures display the full body from head to feet, with annotations indicating proportions. The facial features are not detailed, presenting only a basic outline of the head without individual features or hair. The figures are unclothed, with no visible accessories, set against a plain background with minimal text above and below them.
