The Doctor's Visit 1667

Frans van Mieris the Elder's *The Doctor's Visit* (1667) depicts a scene of 17th-century Dutch domestic life, showcasing the artist's mastery of genre painting. The central figure, a young woman, appears to be ill, attended to by a doctor holding a vial of medicine and a concerned family member. The richly detailed interior, with its fireplace and ornate furniture, provides a glimpse into the well-to-do lifestyle of the era. This work is a prime example of van Mieris' signature style, characterized by meticulous brushwork and a focus on everyday moments. It is now housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
