Skeletal legs of a lizard
1970
From the collection of Leiden University Libraries
This drawing shows a lizard’s legs, its bones clearly visible through thin skin. The artist used fine lines to make the bones pop. You can almost feel the lizard’s fragile frame. The bones look real but the drawing style is simple and precise. It’s not trying to trick you—just show what’s there. See it in person at the Museum of Ethnography.
