DescriptionAfter Paul Gavarni, pseudonym adopted by Guillaume Sulpice Chevallier (1804-66).
A French dentist, with very dishevveled hair and attired in a gaily coloured dressing-gown, is extracting a tooth for a fashionably dressed young man, who is struggling due to pain.
A translation of the legend reads:
To justify the presence in the home of the dentist's wife, this unfortunate man has a tooth extracted by the husband.
