This two panel set is from a 1947 book called "An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists."
Don't get excited and go looking for copies because I've seen some of the remainder of the book, and this is about as good as the male nudity gets. Lots of drawings of muscles and bone.
Curious - one image is flipped - look at his watch - I wonder why - or if that's some kind of a mirror in the studio??
ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye! Yes, they might well have had a mirror in the studio for this type of work.
