"Dorpsdokter" (Village Doctor), an etching created by Cornelis Dusart between 1679 and 1704, depicts a village doctor attending to a patient. Dusart, a Dutch Golden Age artist known for his genre scenes, captures the scene of a doctor examining a patient, using a bowl to catch any blood. The scene is set in a humble interior with a variety of medical tools and supplies, suggesting a sense of both realism and humor. The artwork currently resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
