Answer to Question 1

B
Preliminary sketches for paintings or sculptures are ideas that are quickly jotted down for later development. They can offer fascinating glimpses into the creative process.

Answer to Question 2

Leonardo worked in the fifteenth century C.E. As the title of the work indicates, Leonardo was fascinated with the ideas of Vitruvius, a Roman architect, who related the perfected male form to the perfect geometry of the square and the circle. In this particular work by Leonardo, the man stands inside a square defined by his height and the span of his arms, and a circle centered at his navel.
