A man with an artificial nose. Drawing, c. 1791. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
The subject of this picture had lost his nose in an accident and had it replaced with an artificial one. Lavater uses the portrait to demonstrate the "homogeneousness" of the face: "a long descending nose like this alone could have fitted him: this progression was the only true one, every other would have been incongruous ... [and] heterogeneous"
The drawing shows a line falling from the bridge of the nose
