Paying The Dentist
I can’t tell whether this dentist offers an unusually broad array of services, or whether he’s just flexible about the payment methods he accepts:
There are hints at the bottom of this image that it’s been cropped from a larger scene that includes a scroll and likely a caption. But I couldn’t turn up the uncropped picture, nor any attribution. Does anybody recognize the artist from that distinctive-looking style?

Dentist? If you think that’s a tooth on the sign, take a closer look.
I have, and I do. Mind you, it’s a tooth as interpreted by an erotic artist; the visual pun is certainly deliberate.
I’m also dubious about the dentist part.
Can anyone make out the writing? It looks like “Au cul vermeil” to me, which should translate to something like “To the red ass” (I’m not a native speaker of either French or English).
I love your interpretation, Bacchus, and I’m amused by your certainty, as I would have never noticed the vague (and accidental, I believe) resemblance of a tooth. In my humble mind, nothing in the image suggests a dentist. I see a sleazy hostel or brothel with a graphic sign that reads “the red ass”. Also, from the elements in the image, I wouldn’t assume the dentist is the “he”: it may be she that’s providing a professional service, or they’re both “brushing their teeth”…
Quite honestly I did not visually parse the squiggles at the edge of the sign as writing until you pointed it out. I did respond to “if you think” with “I do [think]” — but I’m always open to other interpretations. Given the writing and the decor, I’m perfectly willing to entertain the brothel notion.
