This is a black-and-white drawing of a human head cut open from the top. You can see the skull, brain, and muscles pulled back to reveal the eye and jaw. The lines are precise, almost like a medical diagram. The artist used a printing method that lets them layer fine details. The brain’s folds and the eye’s socket look carefully studied.
