Akbar's Medicine, Internal Organs, 18th Century

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 (upper left) the liver with gallbladder, (center) the stomach with intestines, (lower left) the testicles, (lower right) a detail of the stomach, and something unidentified in upper right corner. Undated and unsigned, probably 18th century, India
