"The patient sits on a stool, averting his head from the surgeon who supports his left arm, from which the blood spurts into a bowl. The operator wears spurred top-boots, and has a bucolic appearance suggesting a veterinary surgeon. The patient wears a nightcap and buttoned waistcoat over his shirt."--British Museum online catalogue
