Ellie, this is not about 15th century European or not. Where dit I say something like that?
I picked my samples by selecting those nymphs of which I could measure the full body. A second requirement is that they had to be standing up, i.e. not too much bend in the body. Additionally, I treated all outliers in a separate section. If you think I made some mistake, do please test it yourself - the more data the better.
All I wanted to find out is whether proportions are consistent, and they are. That's data. It is very likely that these proportions are found more in Medieval European art than in Classical art. That is beside the point of this study.
But of course I would encourage the use of the results in comparative studies. Though in that case a full body standing figure would be ideal.
