Rizal has been portrayed as taller than Leonor Rivera and Josephine Bracken.

In truth both women are taller than him. Scaling available photographs,

the comparative heights of Rivera, Rizal and Bracken can be estimated.

Based on Perard’s Anatomical Proportioning, their heights can be scaled as follows:

156.24 ± 1 centimeters (roughly 5 feet 2 inches) for Rivera,

154.22 ± 1 centimeters (about 5 feet 1 inch) for Rizal, and

164.38 ± 1 centimeters (a little over 5 feet 4.5 inches) for Bracken.
