Item Description
19th Century and probably French, we say probably as there are no markings.
An anatomical écorché wax medical moulage pathology head, and very much in the style of the Flayed Man by Jean-Antoine Houdon with it's gaunt staring face.
These were usually produced as training aids for the medical world teaching anatomy to students, or sometimes as a part of anatomy shows.
They focused the attention on specific features making the form more comprehensible and invaluable aids when human bodies were less available.
39cm long
29cm wide
16cm depth
This is in lovely condition, and attached to a brown wood base.
