The image depicts a seated man with a surgeon standing behind him. The surgeon wears a fur-trimmed jacket and hat, with a bag hanging from his belt. He holds a scalpel and appears to be performing a trephining operation on the seated man's head. The seated man has his hand raised to his head and is positioned on a floor. A bowl sits on a table to the right. The background features a chair with a curved back, and the year "1524" is inscribed at the top. The image is rendered in black and white. The title of the work is "The Surgeon" and it was created by Lucas van Leyden.
