About this work
The stone-cutter or the witch of Mallegem. In the midst of a group of fools, a quack doctor performs an operation by the light of a lantern in which a stone is cut from the head of the patient. On the right a screaming woman sitting on the shoulders of an old woman. On the right in front of the cutting of stones in a large egg. In the background a watermill and fantastic creatures. Below the image three two-line verses in Dutch.
