This 1738 engraving by Jan L'Admiral titled "Icon membrane vasculosae ad infima acetabuli ossium innominatorum" is a scientific illustration depicting the vascular membrane of the hip bone. L'Admiral's intricate artwork, made for famed anatomist Frederik Ruysch, was likely created for a scientific publication. The image displays the scientific details with visual clarity, a testament to the artist's skills in depicting complex anatomical structures. The piece is a unique example of art and science working together to further our understanding of the human body.
