"Musculature of the Face" is an anatomical illustration by Nicolas Henri Jacob, a French artist and illustrator renowned for his detailed anatomical drawings. Jacob (1782–1871) worked closely with the famous French anatomist Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery to produce a comprehensive atlas of human anatomy titled "Traité complet de l’anatomie de l’homme comprenant la médecine opératoire," first published between 1831 and 1854. This work is notable for its precise and detailed representations of the human body, and it played a significant role in medical education during the 19th century.

The illustration "Musculature of the Face" specifically depicts the complex arrangement of muscles responsible for facial expression. It is one of the numerous plates found in Bourgery's atlas, which consists of eight volumes with more than seven hundred illustrations. Jacob's work is characterized by its artistic quality and scientific accuracy, making it a valuable resource for both medical professionals and artists interested in anatomy.

Jacob's technique involved a combination of drawing from cadavers and living models to achieve a balance of realism and idealization. His illustrations, including "Musculature of the Face," were created using lithography, a printing process that was revolutionary at the time for its ability to produce images with fine detail and subtle gradations of tone.

The "Musculature of the Face" continues to be referenced in modern times for its clarity and educational value. It is not only a testament to Jacob's skill as an illustrator but also to the collaboration between art and science during the period. The illustration remains an important historical artifact in the study of human anatomy and a remarkable example of 19th-century medical illustration.
