Schedel van een koe, van boven gezien 1816

This detailed drawing of a cow skull, titled "Schedel van een koe, van boven gezien" (Cow skull, seen from above), was created by Jean Bernard in 1816. The skull is depicted from a top-down perspective, showcasing the intricate details of its bone structure. The delicate hatching and shading techniques used by Bernard, a Dutch artist known for his anatomical studies, create a sense of realism and depth in this anatomical study. The artwork currently resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
