Did Voynich manuscript illustrator never see women breasts?
#2
Generally, medieval European artists were not concerned with anatomical realism like we are. Even if one saw a million breasts a day, they'd still follow artistic conventions when drawing them.

So the question is not whether the VM artist was familiar with naked ladies, but rather how the drawings compare with those in other manuscript art.
