This drawing shows two animal paws from behind, with skin peeled back. You can see the muscles, bones, and tendons clearly. The lines are dark and precise, with some shading to show depth. The artist labeled parts with tiny arrows—likely to teach how the paw works inside. The bones stick out, and the muscles wrap around them like ropes. Want to see more like this? Look up cross-hatching.
