19th-Century French School, Portrait Of A Man With A Pulled Tooth Summer It’s beautifully rendered with areasThis late 19th century French school portrait depicts a man holding his own bloodied tooth between some forceps. Hes taken a long drag on his pipe and yanked it out. Its intriguing to consider how the portrait came into being is it to emphasise his teeth pulling abilities? Is he a dentist? As if to say, dont worry, Ive done this before it wont hurt. Clearly it would! The portrait is held in a period giltwood foliate frame. Medium: Oil on woodOverall
