Karikatuur van vijf artsen met pruiken die elkaar raadplegen 1823

"Consultation de Médecins" (1823) is a caricature by the French artist Louis Léopold Boilly (1761-1845). The work depicts five physicians wearing wigs, their faces exaggerated and comical, as they consult with each other. The image satirizes the medical profession of the time, highlighting the absurdity and perhaps the incompetence of some physicians. The use of caricature, a popular genre of the 19th century, allows Boilly to deliver a humorous critique of social norms, in this case, the medical field.
