Boer met wond op zijn hand. NL-HlmNHA 1477 53008526

The engraving shows a man in profile, his mouth slightly open in an expression of concentration or pain as he inspects his hand. On the wooden table beside him sit a long-necked glass vial and a small ointment jar, indicating he is preparing to treat the injury. The scene is rendered with fine cross-hatching, emphasizing the textures of the man's weathered skin and rough clothing.

This image likely functions as an allegory for the sense of Touch or Pain, a common theme in Dutch genre prints. In the context of natural philosophy, it represents the empirical observation of the human body and the practical application of pharmaceutical remedies (iartros) to common ailments.
