Discussion of the Konstellations

[RavenMM]

Hi Raven, those are some very useful observations already. So you say she is:

- Relatively tall
- Relatively happy
- On a wavy/cloudy base

About the "headgear with bulbs" you are correct, this is a very common one. The appearance and length of her veil (or loose strands of hair?) is uncommon though, shared by only a few nymphs (I can think of only one at the moment, another large one at one of the pools).

Now to get back to the nymph; there's more to her that sets her aside from the others, not only from those on this page but in the entire manuscript. And another strange feature she shares with a few other nymphs.

I don't think it's a veil (as on 77v, upper right for example), but more like loose strands of fine hair, like on the uppermost nymph on this page, 80r lower left, 80v upper left, 82r lower right,... to me, those hairstyles are all similar. Other than that, her nose also looks different, more like aaquiline/roman/hook nose, with a bigger bridge.
