“The Village Dentist” is a watercolor by Johannes Pieter de Frey, a Dutch artist born in 1770 and died in 1834. The painting depicts a scene of a man receiving dental treatment in a rustic setting. The dentist, dressed in a red cap and dark clothing, uses a tool to extract a tooth from the patient's mouth while the patient winces in pain. The scene provides a glimpse into the challenges of dental care during the early 19th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
