RENAISSANCE ARTIST MANNEQUIN

Artist articulated mannequins were tools of any artist’s workshop dating back to the Renaissance to the 20th C. Some of them were made life size or close to that. Very detailed and lifelike.  Others were rough and basic, but always able to be positioned in a way that the artist could imagine a life person.  Da Vinci had one, Correggio, Gainsborough.  Highly collectible they now are decor that can be shaped and positioned in many ways.
