Correct answer: An arm dissection

The painting depicts Dr. Nicolaes Tulp explaining the musculature of the left forearm to a group of fascinated medical guild members. Curiously, anatomical dissections of this era typically began with the abdomen rather than the arm. Rembrandt took artistic liberty with the sequence to create a more dynamic, visually compelling composition for his breakthrough commission. Photo: Rembrandt, Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
