About the event
The Anatomical Venus; a female wax model with seven removable cadaverous layers. When word of this delightful teaching tool reaches the capital, a wealthy patron of the arts and sciences decides to commission a similarly instructive waxwork of his young wife. The sculptor expects the young woman to be demure, haughty and largely unaffected by the process, but the longer the woman sits, the more the sculptor senses that something is horribly wrong with her, and that she may be just as doomed as the waxwork beginning to take shape on her table.
