In 2000 Rémi Potey painted a sundial showing the Vitruvian Man on the south west wall of the resort hotel "La Ferme de l'Izoard". This sundial has declination lines for the zodiac but no hour lines. The Vitruvial Man is a sketch by Leonardo da Vinci that shows the proportions of the ideal man. The part used as the gnomon for this sundial is somewhat out of proportion.
Potey has used the Vitruvian Man on several sundials. One is on the church in Le Poet, wamarked as WM7G8C. There he has the gnomon in the man's mouth.
Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
