Cutting the boulder. A quack, with turban on head, scratches the forehead of a woman with a scalpel. The man behind the woman is holding her head and groping in his pouch. On the table are instruments and boulders. Hanging from the board in the background is a seal with two keys, perhaps the coat of arms of the city of Leiden. At the bottom a line of text in Dutch, Keisnijder, print maker: William Young Ottley, print maker: Charles Walker, (rejected attribution), Nicolaes Weydtmans, (mentioned on object), London, 1828, paper, etching, h 157 mm × w 130 mm
