A circa 1850 Oil Painting of an infamous French Dentist, Georges Fattet of Paris, by Edouard H. Pingret (1788-1875).

Provenance: Ex-Meibauer, Weiss, Leone, Moskow, now Swanson.

Fattet actually paid to have himself caricatured in the tabloid press. He wore the extravagant robe seen in this painting and rode through the streets of Paris in an open horse-drawn carriage shaped like a denture.

It is the only early painting known to me that depicts anything other than an extraction scene or a toothache. This image is the delivery of an ivory denture to a lady of means.

In April of 1991, the painting was exhibited at the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland (when Bernard Moskow owned it) and has an extensive provenance dating back to 1962 when Proskauer & Witt first documented it.
