The Human Figure by Albrecht Durer: The Complete Dresden Sketchbook

354, [10] pp. "This incredible collection contains drawings in which Dürer experimented with many methods: the 'anthropometric system,' learned from Leonardo; the 'exempeda' method, known to most as the man inscribed in a circle, the human figure in motion and much more.
