How big is the average nose? Please address each dimension. [3570B]
Da Vinci believed that the nose from bridge to tip is the length of the index finger from the knuckle to the tip; the width of the base of the nose is equal to the width of the eye. While people are generally getting larger, Da Vinci was all about proportion, so his calculations should remain accurate. Furthermore, he was known to take meticulous measurements and is believed to have been especially determined to get the crotch to mid-thigh measurement correct.
