Skeleton of a Hedgehog is a 1620 ink by Teodoro Filippo di Liagno, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a hedgehog skeleton. It’s curled up tight, with its head tucked under its body. The bones are drawn carefully, showing every little spine and joint. The artist focused on how the animal’s body works, not just how it looks. The lines are sharp and precise, like a sketch made to study nature up close. Want to see more like this?
