This drawing shows the underside of a feline skull. The jaw is split open, revealing sharp teeth and the empty eye sockets. The bones look delicate but strong, with a few small cracks in the drawing. This kind of detailed sketch was likely used to study animal anatomy. The artist focused on precision, showing every bone and tooth clearly. Next, look up medicine, anatomy, biology to see how art like this helps science.
