Anatomical skeleton in a classical ruined landscape, ink drawing

A standing human skeleton, shown full length with one arm raised, is set among broken classical columns, fragmentary masonry and leafy trees. The engraved-style ink drawing uses fine hatching and soft grey wash, and a small oval cartouche sits below the main plate.
