Dissection of the Head and Neck — P. M. Duval

This anatomical plate presents a dissected section of the human head and neck as a carefully arranged three-dimensional specimen. The ear, jaw, throat, and upper airway remain recognizable while surrounding layers have been opened to reveal muscles and deeper structures. Resting against a rectangular support, the specimen casts soft shadows that give the illustration an unusually sculptural quality.

Muted terracotta, cream, beige, and gray-brown tones separate muscle, bone, and connective tissue, while fine linear detail describes individual fibers and surfaces. The restrained palette and precise anatomical observation reflect the visual language of historical medical illustration. The plate bears the signature P. M. Duval, together with printed Paris publication and lithographic credits in the lower margin.
