- Abstract:
- Illustration of Agata Lapieruz who lost her nose, upper lip, and bottom half of eyelids after being afflicted by "reddish patches covered with tiny blisters that soon dry up and flake off". Rapidly changing form and location, the sores eventually formed crusts and attacked the soft flesh of the face.
