"Plate III. shows the aspects of the head."

"Plate IV. fig. 1. and 3. show how the aspects of the head and trunk correspond..."

Anatomy of the Muscles - Johann Georg Heck's Bilder Atlas

The lower jaw is articulated with the temporal bone in such a manner as to admit of considerable freedom of motion in an antero-posterior and lateral, and still more in a vertical direction (figs. 1, 2, 3). An interarticular cartilage is placed in the joint for greater freedom of movement (Fig. 3 -1). On each side of this cartilage is a synovial membrane separating it from the two faces of the joint. The external lateral ligament (fig. 1 -1) arises from the inferior margin of the root of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, and is inserted into the neck of the condyloid process. The internal lateral ligament (fig. 2-1) arises from the spinous process of the sphenoid bone, and is inserted into the spine bordering the posterior mental foramen. The stylo-maxillary ligament (figs. 1, 2, 3 -2) passes from the external side of the styloid process, and is inserted into the posterior margin of the jaw, near its angle. FIG. 4 -2. Anterior vertebral ligament; 4 -1 & 5 -1, -2. Anterior and Posterior occipito-atlantal ligaments; FIG. 7, -1-2. Suspensorium dentis epistrophei; 7 -3. Transverse ligament of the neck; 7 -4.

Restoration of Houdon's Ecorche by Michael Keropian

Michael Keropian is an accomplished sculptor who was commissioned to undertake a restoration of Houdon's Ecorche at the National Academy of Design. The progress of the work is shown at his website on this page: Houdon's L'Ecorche Restoration and Casts. Also check out his home page for links to his other work. The plaster cast at the academy was missing arms. He was unable to find the left arm so he sculpted a new version but posed it differently to differentiate it from the original.

He has other anatomical sculptures including a version of "L'Ecorche Combatant" by Eugene Caudron, a crouching figure, and studies of hands and feet.

The original by Houdon from mardecortesbaja.com which has a post with lots of information about Houdon's original including a picture of it in L'École des Beaux Arts.


Michael Keropian is another sculptor who values The Sculptor and Art Student's Guide to the Proportions of the Human Form, "Thanks for making the books available, an invaluable resource!"
