Female torso, holding up the right arm is a 1970 by J Wetselaar-Whittaker, depicting Anatomy, held at Leiden University Libraries.
You see a female torso holding up her right arm in this drawing. The arm is bent, and the hand is not shown. This work is interesting because it seems to focus on the body's structure, like a study for a medical illustration. The artist used simple lines and shading to create a sense of depth.

This artist made precise studies of the body—drawings and sculptures that cut straight to the bones, muscles, and tissues.
