De dissectione partium corporis humani libri tres is a 1545 Paris anatomy treatise by Charles Estienne, printed by Simon de Colines for medical students and physicians learning dissection. Its pictures are woodcut full-length figures of a flayed male body shown standing, seated or reclining among architectural ruins, pedestals and plants, with the viscera exposed and lettered keys beside them; a designer might take the figure poses, the ruined-classical settings and the crisp hatched line work.
