About this work

This painting shows a crowded rustic scene in which a figure in a yellow tunic and red cap appears to perform a mock operation on a man's head while a group of laughing peasants looks on. A wooden barrel serves as a table with bottles and vessels, and a village house with small windows stands behind the group.
