Neurosurgical Procedures is a 1975 by J Tinkelenberg, held at Leiden University Libraries.
The painting depicts a nude figure lying on a table, with a device attached to their head. The device is secured by a strap and appears to be some kind of medical equipment. The figure's body is relaxed, with their arms and legs splayed out to the sides.
