Abstract
THE sculptor must be careful to mould his drapery so that its fall and fold may accord with the form below; or, if he copies the undraped human form divine, however quick his eye to detect and his hand to represent, if he wishes to follow the curves of beauty with ease and accuracy he must know the position and functions of the muscles and bones upon which the outlines and pose of the body depend.
