This lithograph by Charles Philipon, titled "Man with a hat selling alternative medicines," depicts a man with a large hat and a red jacket, standing by a barrel, selling medicines. The man is depicted holding a vial, likely containing the medicine he is selling. This artwork is a satirical commentary on the 19th-century French medical practice, the "Charlatanism" as it was called, which involved the selling of dubious medicinal products. This satirical piece, one of the "Les Années," was made by Charles Philipon, a French artist and caricaturist, in 1829-1830 and is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
