Embryonic heart is a 1970 by Unknown, held at Leiden University Libraries.
This drawing shows two strange, shadowy shapes that look like buildings but aren’t quite right. The lines are soft and wavy, almost like they’re made of smoke or mist. Dark spots fill in the shapes, giving them a heavy, solid feel despite the fuzzy edges. The top shape has a flat base with a rough, uneven top, while the bottom one leans sideways with a hollow center. It’s hard to tell what they’re supposed to be—maybe ruins or something from a dream. If you like this odd style, look up cross-hatching.
