As an Aside
The horizon line is not visible in the drawing in Figure 1.
Even so, perspective (4.1.R4 Above, Below, and On the
Horizon Line) suggests that it may be located above the
faces.
Those faces that are closest to you are not only larger,
but also appear closer to the bottom of the drawing
space.
Those that are in the upper section of the drawing space
seem farther away because they appear to be closer to
the vanishing point (which is located on a horizon line).
