Two men sit facing each other as the one on the right pulls on a string which has been tied around a front tooth of the man on the left. His left foot bent up and braced in the patient's left hand, the large-nosed doctor laughs as he pushes a redhot coal in a pair of large tongs towards the patient's mouth. The patient screams in agony as his head is forced back and to the side, his hand pushing the tongs away

"Popular print, satire ... : The interior of a farrier's smithy. A country woman sits on a low stool, while a farrier pulls at her tooth with a pair of pincers which he grasps in both hands. He presses one foot on her outstretched leg while a grinning assistant holds her head in both hands. A third man stands behind, also grinning and holding a stick above his head; one eye is bandaged. All three wear leather aprons. The wretched woman holds the tooth-drawer's left sleeve with one hand, his nose with the other; her eyes are closed. A boy (left) flourishes a broom. Behind (right) is the lighted forge. An anvil, horseshoes, and farrier's tools are in the foreground. A grinning face looks in through a wide-open window (left). Thatched buildings and trees are seen through the window."--British Museum online catalogue
