Two cross sections of the human heart is a 1970 unspecified by J Wetselaar-Whittaker, depicting Anatomy, held at Leiden University Libraries.
This painting shows two cross sections of the human heart. The artist used different materials, like gouache and grey wash, to create detailed drawings. The use of red and grey gives the drawings a sense of depth and texture, which is interesting because it shows the artist's attention to detail. The artist's use of these materials is similar to the work of other artists who focus on technical drawings, you can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: watercolor.
This artist made precise studies of the body—drawings and sculptures that cut straight to the bones, muscles, and tissues.
