This side portrait is featured in Lavater’s Essays on Physiognomy. Lavater objects to the design (presumably not by Blake, although he engraved it) in his accompanying text on the grounds that, compared to a frontal portrait, the shape of the nose is incorrect. Precise drawing was essential to Lavater’s study of human psychology through facial characteristics. Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
