English term or phrase: attitudes
In Greco-Roman art, children’s images hold a significant place. Initially, their bodies were depicted like those of adults, but in miniature size; it is only from the 4th century B.C. on, and especially during the Roman and Hellenistic periods, that artists became interested in children’s proportions and began to reproduce them accurately in many **attitudes**.

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie "attitudes" hier am treffendsten zu übersetzen ist.

Ich habe übrigens Katjas Antwort vorher nicht gesehen. Ich interpretiere "attitudes" auch so und dachte, es geht hier primär um ein Übersetzungsproblem (Positur vs. Pose vs. Stellung vs. Haltung etc.).
