The village surgeon

Beschrijving

Copy after a painting by Adriaen Brouwer at the Alte Pinakothek in München with some modifications. A village surgeon is operating on the arm of a patient sitting in an interior, assisted by another man standing behind doctor and patient. The engraver enlarged the scene on the bottom, making the foot of the patient visible, as it leans on the bottom of the chair he is sitting on. The shelf hanging on the right from the wall has been removed. In its place a bagpipe hangs and a recorder, from the original composition.
