How to Draw Hands - Anatomical Drawings from French Museums




There are some excellent examples of anatomical drawings on the web at a searchable database of French art museums.

Here are 3 examples. The first two are by Alessandro Allori. Etude anatomique d'une main, squelette et muscles and Trois études anatomiques d'une main.

The third is by Alphonse Henri Perin, called Etude de myologie d'un avant-bras.
