Human Dermatomes

Faster than expected, visiting a second Sunday of the month flee-market not far from our house here in Normandy, I found, in a book on Albrecht Dürer - this greatest of Northern European renaissance artists - two female nudes. One, Eve apple in hand shown from the front, the other a shepherd leaning on her staff shown from the back. The arms' positions in both drawings promotes the illustration of dermatomes in the human neck, shoulders, arms and hands. Both drawings are as well useful to show the distribution of dermatomes in the torso and the legs. Please see for yourself, featuring an Albrecht Dürer etching, The Human Dermatomes...
