Physician in plague protective costume, engraving after J.J. Manget
A full-length engraved figure wears a wide-brimmed hat, a beaked mask with round glass eyes, and a long cloak, holding a slender rod in one gloved hand. Below the image, an Italian caption describes the outfit worn by physicians visiting plague patients and credits Manget as its describer.
