This 18th-century engraving by Massau depicts a pair of calcified stones, a bladder stone removed from a 48-year-old man from Liège in 1796. A medical illustration, this print was likely part of a larger collection focused on medical anomalies and practices. The stark contrast of the white background and the detailed depiction of the calcified stones are central to the anatomical illustration style of the era. The inscription beneath the stones includes details of the patient and the artist, making this a compelling and informative medical artwork.
