Pelvis bones is a 1970 by J Wetselaar-Whittaker, depicting Anatomy, held at Leiden University Libraries.
This drawing shows a human pelvis bone from the side. The lines are soft and shaded, making the bone look three-dimensional. The hip socket and thigh bone joint are clear, along with the curved edges of the pelvis. The artist focused on showing how the bones fit together. The shading is smooth, not scratchy, so it’s not cross-hatching or stippling. This kind of drawing helps people study how the body works. Want to see more? Look up medicine.
This artist made precise studies of the body—drawings and sculptures that cut straight to the bones, muscles, and tissues.
