When the Doctor Treats Your Child 1939

Norman Rockwell’s painting "When the Doctor Treats Your Child" (1939) captures the warmth and trust inherent in the doctor-patient relationship. The scene depicts a doctor, who is writing a prescription while sitting in his office. In front of him, a mother sits with her three children. The depiction of a caring, competent doctor treating a family in a time of need was a common theme in Rockwell's work. The artist's signature style of realism, combined with his focus on everyday moments, made his artwork relatable and appealing to a wide audience.
