Learning from Art: Faces and Necklines

This is a sort of subtle thing that you only notice when you're looking for it... But sometimes, something will just look right, or wrong, and you can't put your finger on it.  If you notice the relationship between the length of the face, from hairline to chin, and then the length of the distance between the chin and the neckline of clothing, you will often see a harmonious matching of proportions.  Like these:


Jacques Louis David: Madame de Pastoret and Her Son 
Jean Antoine Houdon:  Bust of Anne-Marie-Louise Thomas de Domangeville de Serilly, Comtesse de Pange
Joshua Johnson: Mrs. Andrew Bedford Bankson and Son, Gunning Bedford Bankson
