----------------------------Original message---------------------------- When Edme Bouchardon's manual l'Antatomie necessaire pour l'usage du dessein (Paris, 1741: chez Huquier) was published, Huquier distributed the volume along with an ecorche ronde bosse figure, to be used in conjunction with the illustrations of the volume. Was the ecorche the one sculpted by one of the Bouchardons working on the volume? Did he replace the original ecorche with a miniature copy of the now famous ecorche au bra tendu (1762) of Jean-Antoine Houdon? Or did Huquier add the ecorche figure to accompany the volume only after 1762? Raymond Lifchez Professor UC Berkeley [log in to unmask]
