Bartolommeo da Arezzo

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two drawings of flayed human bodies. The left drawing depicts three full-body views of a flayed man shown from the front, and from the front with the right arm raised and bent at the elbow. The drawing on the right shows a flayed torso, focusing on the ribcage, muscles and exposed organs. The drawings are sepia-toned on aged paper with visible lines and texture. The drawings are rendered in a detailed and anatomically accurate style. The two drawings are placed side-by-side. The drawings appear to be quite old. The drawings are in a realistic style. The drawings show flayed bodies - skin removed to reveal muscles and organs underneath.
