Is currently in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, but his first task was to grace the room-established representative offices in Amsterdam guild of surgeons. We see in the image of Dr. Tula in a black hat. His clothes different from what the costumes are dressed looker-on necropsy men. Schoolchildren around the table is seven, however these are not ordinary doctors but important town officials. On their faces we see a surprise, fascination, but also the disgust and repulsion. There is, however, what surprised them because they do not know reacted at the sight of them by the bowels Doctor Tula.
