It's executed on a 6 x 8 inch sheet of paper and is attributed to Zachariah Reynolds who was well known for his penmanship. Around 1810 he executed a series of ink and watercolor charts of the internal organs for Dr. Leatherman, of Houstonville, Pennsylvania (see lot 346). This work is from a group of twenty works that recently surfaced in the possession of Zachariah Reynolds' descendants. An affidavit of provenance from these descendants accompanies this piece.
