This small painting on board is a copy of Gerrit Dou\'s (also known as Gerrit Douw or Dow) [artist unknown] popular dentist scene in Dresden. Through the illusionistic frame of a large window, we see a dentist in a red fur cap, proudly displaying the tooth he has just pulled from his patient. The patient, a young boy, grimaces in pain, holding onto his wide-brimmed hat. A copper basin, bottle, and other medical tools rest on the broad windowsill. Like the other paintings on board in the collection, this one was probably created in the 19th century and was made by transferring a lithograph print onto a board and then painting over top of the printed image in oils. These inexpensive copies were popular souvenirs at European tourist destinations. I will say this is one of the better quality copies I\'ve seen.
