Tekenvoorbeeld van een écorché van opzij gezien 1820 - 1833

This detailed anatomical drawing, titled "Tekenvoorbeeld van een écorché van opzij gezien," was created between 1820 and 1833 by Belgian artist Jean Augustin Daiwaille. An écorché, meaning "flayed" in French, is a depiction of a human figure with the skin removed to reveal the underlying musculature. Daiwaille's drawing, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the intricate detail and precision of the human form, serving as a study for artists seeking to understand anatomy. The thin lines and delicate shading contribute to the clarity and educational value of the artwork.
