  		Figure 2. A painting entitled, "At the barber and dentist’s house", by Joos Van Croebeeck (1606–1660). We can observe how he is extracting a tooth from a patient. Meanwhile, in the rest of the room, we notice some basins ("bacias" in Spanish) that the barber used to contain shavings, as well as the blood from extractions and bloodlettings—two activities performed by Miguel de Cervantes’ father.
