Doktersbezoek 1857 - 1914

"Doktersbezoek" (Doctor's Visit) is a black and white etching by the Russian artist Nikolay Semyonovich Mosolov, created between 1857 and 1914. The etching depicts a scene of a doctor visiting a sick woman, with a second woman standing by, likely a relative or caretaker. The artwork is a testament to Mosolov's talent for capturing human emotion and social interactions through detailed engravings, reflecting the realistic style of the 19th century. The small size of the artwork, measuring 258mm in height and 191mm in width, creates a sense of intimacy and allows viewers to closely observe the detailed features of the figures and their surroundings.
