A full-page anatomical engraving depicts a male human figure showing the muscular system (écorché). The figure is viewed from a three-quarter rear perspective, turning his head to look back toward the viewer. His right arm is bent and raised toward his temple, while his left hand holds a long, simple staff for support. Detailed Latin labels are printed directly onto the muscles across the entire body. To the left of the figure stands a large, rectangular pedestal or plinth decorated with relief carvings, including a crown, a palm branch, and various botanical and floral motifs. The background is a minimalist landscape with rolling hills and a light sky. The print shows faint mirror-image ghosting or bleed-through from a similar anatomical figure on the reverse side of the paper.
Anatomical labels visible on the figure include: Temporal, Masseter, Sterno-mastoid, Deltoid, Pectoralis major, Biceps brachii, Serratus magnus, Rectus abdominis, External Oblique, Gluteus, Tensor fasciae latae, Rectus femoris, Vastus externus, Vastus internus, Sartorius, Gastrocnemius, and Tibialis anticus.
