The space from the mouth to the bottom of the chin c d is the fourth part of the face and equal to the width of the mouth. The space from the chin to the base of the nose e f is the third part of the face and equal to the length of the nose and to the forehead. The distance from the middle of the nose to the bottom of the chin g h, is half the length of the face. The distance from the top of the nose, where the eyebrows begin, to the bottom of the chin, i k, is two thirds of the face.” Excerpt From: 1452-1519 Leonardo da Vinci. “The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci — Volume 1.” iBooks.
