Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

Written by: Leonardo da Vinci


Women must be represented in modest attitudes, their legs close
together, their arms closely folded, their heads inclined and
somewhat on one side.


Old women should be represented with eager, swift and furious
gestures, like infernal furies; but the action should be more
violent in their arms and head than in their legs.


Little children, with lively and contorted movements when sitting,
and, when standing still, in shy and timid attitudes.
