"Grønlændere i et hus. Fortællingen om Kassagssuk; hans tænder trækkes ud?" is a wood engraving by Greenlandic artist Rasmus Berthelsen, created between 1827 and 1901. The artwork depicts a scene inside a Greenlandic house, with several figures engaged in daily activities. The narrative title suggests a story about Kassagssuk having his teeth pulled, providing insight into traditional Greenlandic practices. This small-scale work, measuring 73 mm by 85 mm, exemplifies Berthelsen's unique style and his documentation of Greenlandic life. The artwork is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark.
