Humorous depiction of one of the five senses. In a darkened room that hardly suggests a professional atmosphere, a barber-surgeon wields a scalpel to remove a stone from the head of his patient, who clenches his fists and teeth in pain. The only light illuminating the scene is the candle held by an intense elderly woman with a wrinkled face and clenched jaw. Object Type: painting. Genre: genre art. Date: between 1624 and 1625. Dimensions: height: 21.6 cm (8.5 in) ; width: 17.7 cm (6.9 in). Medium: oil on panel. Collection: Leiden Collection. Series Title: The Senses. Touch, by Rembrandt
