Elizabeth Johns describes how the central figure of this painting is portrayed as a teacher of future American generations. The students of this painting's artist took a photograph parodying it in which the main character dramatically holds an axe. A man with a yellow scarf appears to be falling asleep and a man with a goatee leans over a balcony in this work. On the left of this painting, two figures stand in a red tunnel (*) behind the main proceedings. On the left, a blond clerk takes notes while four men including James Barton and Daniel Appel conduct their work. In the central scene, a woman with clenched hands looks away from the torso of a patient of ambiguous gender being cut by the title Jefferson Medical College professor. For 10 points, name this Thomas Eakins (EE-kinz) painting showing an elderly black-coated professor lecturing in a surgical theater during an operation.
