This etching by Pieter Schenk, titled "Het Gevoel", depicts a humorous scene from 17th-century Dutch life. The print shows a man having his teeth pulled by a barber-surgeon, surrounded by onlookers. The sign above the surgeon's shop depicts a rabbit, hinting at the painful nature of the procedure. Schenk masterfully captures the expressions of pain, fear, and amusement on the faces of those present, making it a popular satirical print of the time.
