Descrição: Messbarger offers a provocative and detailed account of Morandi's famous life-size wax self-portrait, analyzing her multiple roles as anatomist, instructor, artisan, scholar, and, not least, as a woman. By portraying herself as a handsome and richly dressed woman, Morandi declared her social status and gender; by showing herself in the act of dissecting a human brain, she declared her intellectual and technical standing as very much the equal of her late spouse, whose portrait she also sculpted.
