Der anatomische Engel oder Sektion eines Frauenrückens

Französische Grafik 1700–1760, 1746

This print shows the upper body of a person facing away from us, with a focus on their back and shoulders. The person is turning their head towards the right in a profile view. Their short brown hair is pulled back and held in place with a blue headband. On their neck, back, and shoulders, the individual's pale skin is peeled back to reveal anatomical muscle structures, with red and white markings indicating detailed layers of muscles and ribs. The background is a plain grey color.
