Nose-to-eyebrow : a possible parallel
#8
Three quarters is extremely common. If you present all figures in profile or looking straight at the camera, it will look very weird. The first will look Egyptian (or another very early art style) and the second will look like a child's drawing. So somewhat accomplished draughtsmen will always go for three quarters or a mix of perspectives.

What is uncommon, however, is the ridiculous consistency with which the VM presents nymphs in the same angle. If I recall correctly, there are like three nymphs that are not in three quarter view. I seriously doubt that there is any document with, say, a hundred human figures, where all faces are drawn in the same perspective.
