Description (Brief)
The physician is seated in a chair next to a table holding a beaker of urine. A woman stands behind him and two figures hover in the doorway. In the background are shelves of syrup jars and albarelli. There are two larger vessels on the floor. Urdang attributes the painting to the Dutch painter Jacob DeWitt (1695-1754).
