Respiratory system is a 1970 unspecified by J Tinkelenberg, held at Leiden University Libraries.
This watercolor shows the human lungs and airways in soft grey and white. Tiny brush lines trace each branching tube. The artist used two watercolor tricks here: a grey wash for depth, then white gouache to brighten the smallest veins. That mix makes the lungs look real yet ghostly. Next, check the artist’s other work at the Museum of Ethnography.
