Other anatomical studies by Figino are known, generally pages from albums.  The largest corpus is in the Gallerie dell' Accademia in Venice where many anatomical studies with a Bossi-Celotti provenance are preserved.¹  Occasionally, Figino combines anatomical observations with figure studies see, for instance, a page from the Bossiano Album in the Gallerie dell'Accademia.²
