Illustration of 3 body shapes of women

Body shapes of women. Illustration showing three different body shapes of women. Body mass and weight increases from left to right. Associated with this, from left to right, there is increased breast size, and increased fat deposits on the hips and thighs. The face also becomes more rounded and moon-shaped. In medical terms, these body shapes are, from left: ectomorph (lean and delicate build); mesomorph (compact and muscular build); endomorph (a soft, round build and high proportion of fat tissue)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the diverse body shapes of women. The illustration portrays three distinct body types, each representing a different level of body mass and weight. From left to right, we witness an evolution in physical attributes such as breast size, fat deposits on the hips and thighs, and even facial features becoming more rounded and moon-shaped. In medical terms, these body shapes are classified as follows: starting from the left is the ectomorph - characterized by a lean and delicate build; next is the mesomorph - displaying a compact and muscular physique; finally, on the right side stands the endomorph - boasting a soft, round build with a higher proportion of fat tissue. This thought-provoking artwork not only highlights individual differences but also sheds light on how our bodies naturally vary in shape during puberty or throughout life. It serves as a reminder that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to beauty or health. The surface-level details captured in this image allow us to appreciate both artistry and anatomy simultaneously. Let this print serve as an inspiration for embracing diversity while celebrating our unique journeys towards self-acceptance.
