Español: Figura anatómica vista de espalda, según Albinus

Una lámina anatómica grabada que muestra una figura masculina de pie vista desde atrás, con la piel retirada para revelar la musculatura de la espalda, los brazos, los glúteos y las piernas. Un brazo se extiende hacia la izquierda y el otro cuelga junto al cuerpo sobre un fondo claro y liso. El rayado fino de las líneas da volumen a la figura.
