About this work

Five glasses with images of the work of doctors, apothecaries, and barbers in a wooden frame. The glass farthest to the left: a man standing reads a book. The glass to the right of that: a man grinds something with a mortar and pestle. The central glass: a standing man shaves another man who is sitting and has a white cloth tied before him. The glass to the right of that: a standing man holds the hand of a seated woman with his left hand, and in his right hand holds a full cup aloft. The glass farthest to the right: a walking man, both hands outstretched forward and holding an unrecognizable object in his left hand, is followed by a boy.
