A surgical operation, between 1730 and 1739?. A scene in an early 18th-century surgery. A male patient is seated in the centre receiving the attention of a kneeling operator. The patient is supported under the arms by a standing man, while another man approaches on the left with a cup containing a fortifying or anaesthetic drink. On the right is an armed and agitated crowd who are being pacified by a man in authority (physician or magistrate), suggesting a wound caused by violence. Fr Alexio is named in the inscription as the surgeon.
