Elémens anatomiques d'ostéologie et de myologie a l'usage des peintres et sculpteurs
An 1797 anatomy textbook by Johann Heinrich Lavater, published in Paris, Zurich and Basel, written for painters and sculptors learning the bones and muscles of the human figure. Its plates show legs, arms and the back in outline, with muscles and skeleton drawn in fine lines and some red-brown tints. A designer could take from them a clear model of how muscles wrap over bone and how limbs bend and taper, useful for figure drawing and gesture.
