The tooth puller, сolorized French engraving, presumably 18th century, accompanied by three humorous quatrains, depicts the genre scene. The quack tooth-puller looks at the spectator with a sneer, while his hand armed with an instrument is placed in the mouth of the unfortunate patient, who is trying to hold back a cry of pain. Gawkers and potential clients crowded around them, watching the action in horror, amazement and admiration.  The engraving is based on the motif of the painting The tooth puller (1620-1625) by Flemish Theodor Rombouts (1597-1637) which is in the main exhibited collection of the Museo del Prado, Madrid and is one of the outstanding examples of genre Flemish Caravaggisti.
