"Musculature of the Face and Neck" is an anatomical illustration created by Jacques-Fabien Gautier-Dagoty (1716–1785), a French artist and anatomist renowned for his detailed and colorful anatomical drawings. Gautier-Dagoty was a pioneer in the use of mezzotint engraving, a printing technique that allowed for the production of high-quality images with a wide range of tones, which was particularly well-suited to the nuanced shading required for depicting the human body.

The illustration "Musculature of the Face and Neck" is part of Gautier-Dagoty's larger body of work that aimed to combine art with scientific accuracy in the study of human anatomy. His works were notable for their vivid use of color, which was unusual for the time and represented a significant advancement in the field of anatomical illustration. The image itself provides a detailed view of the muscles of the face and neck, meticulously showcasing the layers of musculature and their interrelations. This level of detail not only served medical professionals and students in understanding human anatomy but also reflected the broader Enlightenment-era interest in empirical observation and the classification of knowledge.

Gautier-Dagoty's illustrations were often published in anatomical atlases and texts, which were used for educational purposes and were highly regarded for their contribution to medical knowledge. "Musculature of the Face and Neck" exemplifies the intersection of art and science during the 18th century and remains a significant historical artifact, demonstrating the level of anatomical understanding of the period as well as the artistic skill involved in depicting the complexities of the human form.
