### [c8.253](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.253)

Hair and jewellery, with their roughened and intricate plastic rhythms, set off the largeness and purity of the modelling of the face. Correspondences, such as the eyebrow and ridge of the nose, the lower part of the nose and the chin, the surface of the upper eyelid and surface of the nose wing, etc., give to such faces a compositional consistency which makes irrefutable and organic the ambiguity of the facial expression.
