This 1634 etching by Jacob van der Gracht is a title page for his book, *Anatomie der uiterlijke deelen van het menschelijk Lichaam*, depicting a dissection in progress. A cadaver, suspended from the ceiling, is being examined by several figures, including a doctor and an artist. The title page was intended to be an advertisement for the book, suggesting that the book will be a comprehensive guide to human anatomy. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
