This is a coloured drawing of a person. On the left side, a man is depicted in appropriate male clothing for the period: a jacket and breeches. Behind him there is a cabinet with medicines and surgical instruments. The setting is a professional environment. The right-hand side of the figure wears female clothing for the period: a dress and lace cap. This female half stands before a grate with a fire. This side of the image is set in a home, with a patterned carpet and two bottles of medicine on a single shelf. Beneath the image is the wording: ‘A man-mid-wife.’
