Anatomy and Natural History: putti at dissection
Winged putti in a cluttered study dissect a small animal on a table, while others tend a jar, handle bones, and sit beside a cabinet of specimen jars. A hanging human skeleton and an animal skeleton are suspended overhead, and the fine black etching uses dense hatching for shadow.
