Muscles Attaching to Bone; Horse Skeleton Studies
Red-chalk and ink studies of equine skeletal parts and muscle attachment
An anatomical sheet combining several red-chalk skeletal studies with a darker ink study of ribs, shoulder blade and attached muscles at the foot of the page. The transcribed headings name the subject as the muscles that attach to the bone and as details of horse skeletons. The upper drawings show a horse's forequarters and isolated bones of the limb, while the lower study renders a ribcage and scapula with muscle fibres worked over in ink.

Muscles that attach to the bone
At the foot of the sheet a ribcage and shoulder blade are drawn with the muscles springing from and clasping the bone, worked over in ink to show the fibres. The heading identifies the study as concerning the muscles that attach to the bone.
Details of horse skeletons
The upper studies show a horse's skeletal forequarters and separately drawn bones of the leg. The heading names these as details of the skeletons of a horse.
