Description
Tibb al-Akbar (Akbar's Medicine) by Muhammad Akbar ibn Mir Hajji Muhammad Muqim Arzan (died 1722) was a physician from Persia. The paper on which these figures are drawn, however, is distinct from that of the main text, though similar in many respects. The illustrations appear to be unrelated to the accompanying text and to draw upon Indian and early-modern sources. Drawings of individual organs in inks and opaque watercolors. Illustrated are (top) a composite rendering of the tongue, larynx, heart, trachea, stomach, and liver; (left) a composite drawing of the ureters, urethra, kidneys, testicles, and penis; (right) the external female genitalia; and (bottom) a composite rendering of the internal female genitalia with a gravid uterus. Undated and unsigned, probably 18th century, India.
