Xo the left the surgeon, seated in profile to the right, looks intently at the bare arm on which he is operating. In front of him stands a table, with a charcoal pan, two bottles, and other objects upon it. Behind the two men is the head of another peasant, who looks on. On the wall to the right is a shelf with several bowls on it ; a flute hangs underneath. This belongs, with Nos. 19 and 22, to a series of "The Five Senses." Panel, 9 inches by 12 inches.
