Itinerant surgeon extracting stones from a patient's head, mezzotint after Teniers
A mezzotint in dark, velvety tones shows a man in a cap pressing his hands against the head of a grimacing, wide-eyed patient whose mouth is open in pain. A second figure grips the patient from below, and the compressed composition is set against a shadowed background.
