Van der Heyden was known for his detailed and intricate engravings, often collaborating with prominent artists of his time such as Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This particular work is a satirical piece that delves into the themes of folly and human foolishness, which were common subjects in the art and literature of the Northern Renaissance.

The engraving depicts a scene where a surgeon is performing a procedure to remove the "stone of folly" from a patient's head, a popular allegory in medieval and Renaissance art symbolizing the extraction of foolishness or madness. The composition is rich with characters and details, each contributing to the overall narrative and satirical tone of the piece. Surrounding the central figures are various onlookers, each reacting differently to the bizarre operation, adding layers of social commentary and humor.

Van der Heyden's technique is notable for its precision and the fine lines that create texture and depth, bringing the scene to life. The artist's ability to capture expressions and intricate details showcases his skill and contributes to the enduring interest in his work. The engraving is also significant for its reflection of contemporary beliefs and practices regarding mental health and medical treatments, offering insight into the historical context of the period.
