Woodcut of a Flayed Torso with Exposed Organs, 1634

A woodcut of a human torso with the chest and abdomen opened, revealing the stomach, intestines, and branching blood vessels. Letters mark points on the organs, and the figure's face and hair are shown in profile at the right. Fine hatched lines model the forms, and faint printed text from the facing page shows through the paper.
