This photograph, “Figure 71: Same head as in Plate 70,” was created by Guillaume Benjamin Amand Duchenne between 1854 and 1856. The photograph shows a detailed close-up of a plaster cast of a classical head, likely depicting a Greek god or hero. Duchenne was a neurologist who used photography to study human facial expressions and muscle movements. This photograph, part of his groundbreaking work "Mécanisme de la Physionomie Humaine," showcases his innovative approach to scientific exploration, blending art and science.
