This image is a black and white engraving or illustration contained within an oval frame. It depicts a scene involving two central figures — a female and a male character. The female character stands on the left, distinguished by a halo around her head which suggests that she is a saint or a holy figure. Her expression is one of composure or perhaps resignation. The male figure, standing on the right, appears to be pulling out a tooth from the woman's mouth using a pair of pliers, indicating a scene of dental extraction. This act seems to be conducted without force, implying consent or at least acceptance, consistent with hagiographic depictions of martyrdom or suffering. In the background on the upper left side, three figures appear to be watching the scene from a distance, standing by what looks like a small body of water. The scene is set within what appears to be a classical or biblical landscape, noting the structures reminiscent of antique architecture in the far right background. The top of the illustration contains the text "S.APOLLONIª" and "V. ET M.", which could signify the name "Saint Apollonia" and an abbreviation for "Virgin and Martyr". At the bottom left is the text "Israel ex.", which may denote the artist or engraver's signature, followed by the number "9.", potentially indicating this image is part of a series. On the bottom right, the text "FEB." suggests the month of February, which aligns with the feast day of Saint Apollonia celebrated on February 9th in Christian traditions. Saint Apollonia is known as the patroness of dentistry and those suffering from toothaches, often depicted in art with pincers holding a tooth, signifying her martyrdom during which her teeth were forcibly removed.

This image is an old etching or engraving depicting a historical or religious scene. It shows two main figures within an oval frame. To the left stands a woman with a halo, possibly a saint or holy figure, dressed in long, flowing robes. She is being approached by a man holding an object (which looks like pincers or tongs) to her mouth, hinting at a moment of suffering or martyrdom. The background features what appears to be ruins with columns and architectural details. There are also smaller figures behind the main scene: one figure on the left is bent over and appears to be working with some substance, while others look on. The image is bordered with the text "S. APOILONI A. V. ET M." at the top, likely referring to Saint Apollonia, who was known for martyrdom and is often depicted with tongs due to her teeth being extracted as part of her torture. The bottom has the number "9" and "FEB," indicating a date which might be associated with the saint's feast day. The artist's name "Israel" appears near the bottom center of the frame.
