This large-scale canvas, measuring 116x221 cm, now resides in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain.

Dressed in traditional attire and holding his extraction tool firmly, he exudes confidence and expertise. Surrounding him are various elements that add depth to the composition. A medicine jar filled with mysterious liquids sits on a nearby table, symbolizing both relief and potential pain for patients seeking treatment. Instruments used during dental procedures can also be seen scattered across the room. Rombouts' masterful use of light and shadow creates an ambiance of tension and anticipation. The expressions on the faces of those awaiting their turn reveal apprehension mixed with hope for relief from their dental woes.
