Ecorché refers to a detailed anatomical study or representation of the human body, often focusing on the muscles and their structure. In art and anatomy education, an ecorché model is typically a sculpted or drawn figure that shows the body without skin, highlighting the muscles, tendons, and bones underneath. This technique is used by artists, medical professionals, and students to better understand human anatomy and the relationship between muscles and the skeleton. Ecorché studies are essential for accurately depicting the human form in both artistic and medical contexts, improving the understanding of human movement and structure.
