This drawing shows a knee joint in gray ink, with white highlights adding depth. The artist used a brush to apply thin washes of gray, then dabbed on white for contrast. You can see each ligament and bone surface clearly. This isn’t just art. It’s a teaching tool from the 1800s, meant to train surgeons in anatomy. The way light and shadow are handled makes the structures pop off the page. Next, search for Wetselaar-Whittaker, J.
