The Tradesmen
153 (Minaggio 142) Standing on a table between an open coffer and his professional insignia -- an enormous tooth hanging from a pole -- a tooth puller holds up the tooth he has just extracted from a suffering patient, who sits holding a blood-stained cloth to his face. |

154 (Minaggio 75) A knife-sharpener uses a foot-pedal to turn a grindstone. Scissors, a scythe and several knives can be seen hanging from branches and sticking into the tree trunk. |
|
155 (Minaggio 53) The apron and brush attached around his waist indicate this may be a chimney sweep. He is leaning on a staff and playing a flute while waiting for his dog to finish defecating. There is a small finch perched on the top of the tree. |
|
156 (Minaggio 72) A cobbler repairs a shoe while its owner, with one stockinged foot and leaning on a long staff, waits. There is a Brambling (Fringilla montfringilla) perched in the tree above. |
