Wendelin
1866 was the year Kanizier Wendelin made this drawing of a model
who I believe appears in several works in my academic art collection.
I always pose one arm up one arm down. Usually up arm is holding a towel over shoulder, or a Cowboy hat on head, while other arm hangs at side. But, this is to show sterno-mastoid-bicep. (Chest-shoulder-arm transition.)
I'm guessing the odd pose was used to emphasize some aspect of the muscles in his arm.
ReplyDeleteThat would be my guess, too.

Interesting technical reference.
