The first pelvis study was originally created by Luca Signorelli and was again a part of her piece, "Resurrection". The pelvis is viewed from behind in this instance, allowing the viewer to notice the posterior superior spines and the gluteal folds and cleft.


The second re-worked master drawing was selected from the much larger piece "The Triumph of the Bibulous Silenus" by Maerten van Heemskerck. The pelvis is noticeably foreshortened as the iliac crests are directed towards the viewer. The visual center, located around the sacrum, recedes into the background, suggesting a foreshortened perspective.


"Adam", created by Albrecht Durer in 1507, represents the final pelvis study. The pelvis is visible, open faced and without distortion. The anterior crests are easily visible and the location of the inguinal ligaments is noted.
