I would say abouy half gerry's height , so about 3 foot. What's that in cm?
Approx 90cm
But you cant just judge this as you are. It is complex because of perspective.
S***s feet are further back and on a higher plane than Gerrys. This means that he is further behind Gerry. If you were to get dividers and measure him from average foot placement to head he would be way smaller than half Gerry.
but then he is also looking smaller because of perspective and it would be very complex to try and work out exactly what this perspective did to the measurements.
Having spent most of my life studying life drawing and reached a certain standar in it where I work happilyb alongside Art BA's and MA's, I have an educated eye. This educated eye tells me that despite perspective, S*** in this picture is noticeably smaller than half Gerry.
Anyway, what has this to do with it? S*** is a boy, they usually are taller than girls.
In any case children in the same family can vary considerably in height at the same ages ... and in the early days there was much talk in forumland that Madeleine s height was shorter than usual. It was speculated that it was something allied to her eye condition. Dunno if the later is correct or not, but it was speculated that this was the case at that time.
If you are still arguing about Madeleines height, why dont you find someone amongst your number who is an experienced and accurate draftsperson ... and get them to check my measurements. They must take a large scale print off of the play house, then take note of the lowest interior height of the playhouse and mark that in the right place.
Using that as a datum and using a scale rule, then divide the vertical space up into 10 cm sections. The rest is pretty obvious, but in order to be accurate they must take into account the height of the step and the thickness of Madeleines heels and soles.
if done accurately their measuirements should come out near mine
