 Description
Hand coloured etching, black and white on woven paper. Two men sit facing each other. The man on the right laughs as he pulls on a string tied around a front tooth of the other, pushing with his bent up left foot to stabilise the patient's chin. The man on the left cries out in pain as he grips on to the shoe. The image is framed with black printed wood and glazed, and there is twisted wire on hooks on back. The image was first published in Tim Bobbin's "Human Passions Dilineated" with accompanying poetic text.
