Proportion of Human Body measured from Paintings

Hello everyone,

 

 

Do you think is possible to measure (at least) the proportion (in heads) of the human body from a single view? My PhD is focused in studying Academic Nude Paintings (male and female) and it would be interesting to measure the proportions of the bodies. The subjective view of the painter is taken into account, but in some cases, I have the same model painted at the same time (or not) by different painters, giving different views or positions of the model.

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much!!!

 

:)
