What was the name of Frida Kahlo’s 1932 painting depicting a miscarriage in Detroit?

Frida Kahlo’s 1932 painting depicting her miscarriage in Detroit is titled Henry Ford Hospital.

Kahlo painted the work after suffering a miscarriage while she and Diego Rivera were living in Detroit. The scene shows Kahlo lying on a blood-stained hospital bed, with red cords linking her body to several objects associated with pregnancy, medicine, and anatomy. The setting is identified with the Henry Ford Hospital, where she received treatment.

The painting is often discussed as one of Kahlo’s most direct treatments of reproductive loss. Unlike a conventional hospital portrait, it combines personal experience with symbolic imagery and a stark, almost diagrammatic composition. The work also reflects the physical and emotional difficulties Kahlo faced after her 1925 bus accident.

The title is sometimes confused with My Birth, another major Kahlo painting concerned with childbirth and bodily experience. Henry Ford Hospital specifically refers to the Detroit miscarriage and its hospital setting.
