Doctor s Visit 1662

"Doctor's Visit," painted in 1662 by Dutch Golden Age painter Jan Steen, depicts a scene of a doctor visiting a sick woman. The painting's realistic depiction of a domestic scene captures the humorous and chaotic nature of everyday life in 17th-century Netherlands. The woman is reclining on a chair, while the doctor examines her, surrounded by other figures and a dog, all adding to the lively and engaging composition. Steen's signature attention to detail, with the inclusion of household objects and an intriguing arrangement of figures, makes this a fascinating example of genre painting.
