Plaque showing a Doctor Bleeding a Woman
Artist/maker unknownThe shape of this plaque is rare, as is its decoration. The scene of bloodletting, a common practice in the eighteenth century, is probably based on a composition the artist would have seen reproduced in a print. The plaque’s white border indicates that it was originally placed in a wood frame.
