Engraved anatomical plate of a standing flayed figure with exposed muscles, arms outstretched, before a rocky landscape and a stone tablet with Latin text.

Tables of the skeleton and muscles of the human body ... / Translated from the Latin.

An engraved plate showing a standing male figure with its skin removed, exposing the muscles, arms outstretched against a rocky landscape of trees and a carved stone tablet bearing a Latin inscription. Fine black-and-white linework and cross-hatching give the muscles a sculptural, detailed quality typical of 18th-century anatomical prints.

Español: Lámina anatómica de Albinus: figura muscular de pie en paisaje, 1749

Una lámina grabada que muestra una figura masculina de pie, sin piel, con los músculos expuestos y los brazos extendidos, frente a un paisaje rocoso con árboles y una lápida tallada con inscripción en latín. El trazado fino en blanco y negro y el rayado dan a los músculos un aspecto escultórico, propio de las estampas anatómicas del siglo XVIII.
