Below, on the left is the apothecary, composed of items of pharmaceutical equipment. His hat is an alembic or distilling flask. Bags of oil of lilies and oil of bay cover his chest. Various other ointments, creams and syrups form other parts of his body

On the right is the surgeon, whose body is composed of surgical instruments. His hat is a cranial elevator (for removing pieces of bone when the skull has been fractured). In his right hand he holds a vaginal speculum, in his left an oral speculum. Trusses hang from his right forearm, tourniquets from his left. On his breasts he has shaving bowls. From his waist hang saws, knives and drills"]]>
"The individual figures were probably devised by the French engraver Nicolas de Larmessin, ca. 1695. The arrangement of the three figures in a single composition with an ornate colonnade open to a mountainous backdrop seems to be unique to this painting"]]> ]]> https://wellcomecollection.org/works/gjetpmpu]]> https://wellcomecollection.org/works/k8gtdk9p]]> ]]> ]]> https://wellcomecollection.org/works/kzn5a247]]>

"Description
Seen through an arch, de Graaf discusses the dissection with two companions. In front of the dissecting table are the bodies of a variety of animals and a living dog. To the right of the window, surgical instruments hang on the wall. This is the title page to his 1671 work on pancreatic secretions. De Graaf is also known for his book on the sexual organs of the human female, De mulierum organis generationi inservientibus, published in Leiden 1672"]]> ]]> https://wellcomecollection.org/works/mmpvdpt8]]> Contents
