Description

Watercolour drawing of a girl, aged ten, suffering from so called Kaposi's disease (xerodermia pigmentosa), taken two years and two months after the initial drawing of the case [see SBHB MU/14/35/85/1]. The progress made by the growths is very marked, the nose and nasal septum being extensively involved.
