Title
Surgeons performing an operation
Description

Surgeons performing an operation on a woman's breast in the seventeenth century.

The people are wearing early 17th-century costume. The patient is lying down, as in surgery of the anaesthetic era (post-1846), showing that this is a late 19th-century idea of what a surgical operation might have been like in the early 17th century.
