This copy that was made, has had some colour added in, but it still looks like a very server looking woman. I think that this model was very strangely formed, or the artists appropriation of proportion is to me, very strange. I was reading that each artist assigns his own ratio of proportions to the human figure. Dürer, Rafael and Michelangelo, not to mention some others, all used different proportions for the human figure. Could this have been the result of the type/race of the people that he was working with. In other words, the models in Italy had a slightly different proportion to the models in Holland or Belgium?
