This drawing shows two hands with bones and muscles laid bare. The fingers are bent at odd angles, revealing the joints and tendons underneath. The lines are smooth but detailed, with shadows giving depth to the shapes. The artist focused on how the bones and muscles connect, almost like a puzzle. This kind of drawing helps people understand how the body works inside. Want to see more? Look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
