A 1622 Dutch translation of Albrecht Dürer's treatise on human proportion, first printed in Nuremberg in 1527, published in Arnhem by Jan Jansz for artists and students who lacked Latin or High German. The pictures are woodcut-style figure studies of a male nude, each set within a circle and square construction with body measurements marked along the limbs and torso, showing a method of building the figure from geometry that a designer could borrow for layout grids or figure construction diagrams.
