anatomical drawings
Medical figure sketches
Anatomical drawings are detailed illustrations of body structures—muscles, bones, organs, and systems—used for medical education, scientific reference, or artistic study.
Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci produced anatomical drawings to understand human form.
The term sometimes appears euphemistically for nude figure studies: The museum's collection includes several anatomical drawings from the 18th century.
