De Man was commissioned to produce the painting by the surgeons’ guild. The group portrait depicted a human dissection by Coirnelis Isaaks’s Gravesande, a surgeon who lived near Leeuwenhoek, on the corner of the Nieuwstraat and Hippolytusbuurt. . . . . The painting shows the surgeon examining a cadaver, while other memes of the guild (and Leeuwenhoek) look on. According to the report of the Delft historian Boiter, De Man asked Leeuwenhoek, who was not a member of the guild, to sit for the picture “in order to add more luster” to it. Leeuwenhoek is behind the left shoulder of ‘s Gravesande, with his hand over his heart. His nephew and godson,Antonin de Molijn (1656-1729) son of his sister Margriete and her husband Jan Molihjn, is at the top left of the picture. Antoni de Molin was surgeon who trained in Paris and had returned to Delft to practice.. . . . Page 160
