The Anatomy Theatre

A Specialty Match

Midwifery

A specialty match — the plates that speak to this discipline.

These are the works in the house that answer to this discipline. A plate chosen this way is not a decoration but a portrait of a life’s study — the part of the body a person has given their working life to, drawn by the masters who first understood it. Offered, as everything here is, with the gravity the works have already earned.

The plates
