The Pleasure of a Doctors' Consultation (plate 11) 1843

"The Pleasure of a Doctor's Consultation (plate 11)" is a lithograph created by Charles Jacque in 1843. The piece depicts a satirical scene of two doctors in conversation, with a sick man lying in bed behind them. The doctors are the main focus of the image, with one in a top hat and the other holding a hat. The image is a humorous social commentary on the nature of medical consultations, highlighting the absurdity and formality that sometimes surrounds them. This is a print from a series of lithographs entitled *Les Malades et les Medecins* (The Patients and the Doctors). The print is held in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
