Chap. VIII: Comment Docteur! (What, Doctor?) 1824

"Chap. VIII: Comment Docteur! (What, Doctor!)" is a lithograph by Victor Adam from 1824, depicting a scene of two men in an office setting. The work shows one man, likely a doctor, standing in a room that suggests his profession. The other man, wearing a jacket and white pants, stands with an expression of alarm as he gestures towards his leg. The scene is set in a space suggestive of a doctor's office, with a bust of a man and jars on a shelf in the background. This is a fine example of 19th-century lithograph, characterized by fine detail and a focus on narrative scenes. The work was created by the French artist Victor Adam (1801-1866), known for his illustrations and lithographs. It is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
