An itinerant medicine vendor selling a medicine to a man whose son has a poorly arm. Engraving by P. da Colle after N. Cavalli after F. Maggiotto.

The medicine vendor wears pseudo-Turkish dress, and has a portrait of himself in the same costume which he uses as an advertisement. He wears a gold chain with a medallion around his neck, advertised as a reward from a royal customer. Right, a masked harlequin holds a testimonial to the efficacy of the medicine: it is authenticated by a conspicuous seal. Left, a young man removes a bandage from his arm, while next to him a white-bearded man beseeches the vendor for a cure. It is not clear whether the young man and the white-bearded man are to be understood as customers or as stooges (i.e. members of the troupe)
