Embryonic tissue of a mouse is a 1970 by J Wetselaar-Whittaker, held at Leiden University Libraries.
This drawing shows the embryonic tissue of a mouse. It's drawn in grey and green with a brush. The artist used grey wash to create depth, which is interesting because it adds a layer of detail to the simple drawing. The use of grey and green is a quiet detail that makes this work notable. The drawing seems to focus on the texture of the tissue. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: stippling.
This artist made precise studies of the body—drawings and sculptures that cut straight to the bones, muscles, and tissues.
