Tables of the skeleton and muscles of the human body ... / Translated from the Latin.

An engraved anatomical figure of a flayed man seen from behind, his muscles exposed and one arm extended toward a tree at left. He stands on a stone pedestal beside a classical architectural plinth amid foliage and rocks. Fine hatched line work gives the musculature its modeled, sculptural depth.

Español: Figura muscular vista de espalda en un jardín

Un grabado anatómico de un hombre desollado visto de espalda, con los músculos expuestos y un brazo extendido hacia un árbol a la izquierda. Está de pie junto a un pedestal arquitectónico de piedra, entre follaje y rocas. El trazo fino de líneas cruzadas da a la musculatura un volumen escultórico.
