Summary/Abstract: Regarding the scientific aspect of the anatomical drawing, when it does not correspond to the actual authenticity (anatomical truth), the author considers that such an illustration in itself has no didactic value. In this case, the creative (artistic) aspect is not essential. Even if the drawing has high artistic qualities, they are not able to compensate for the lack of scientific fact. To the extent that a wrong word in the text may confuse readers with insufficient experience and knowledge in plastic or medical anatomy, undoubtedly the same (even to a greater degree) applies to the wrong anatomical drawing.
