Barber Extracting a Tooth is an oil-on-panel genre painting by Adriaen van Ostade, dated ca. 1630–1635, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.[1]
It shows a village barber surgeon pulling out a villager's tooth. Typically for the artist, the scene is illuminated from a window on the left,[2] whilst the right remains in shadow.[3] A set of scissors on the wall refers to the man's trade as a barber.
