A woman next to him has just had an extraction and is about to receive a transplantation. At right a woman is being examined by a dentist. Behind the group a male patient inspects his mouth with a mirror. At left,a boy and girl in rags leave the room in pain,with the girl holding a coin,payment for the tooth she has 'donated'.
