About the piece
In this evocative work by David Teniers the Younger, a doctor is shown in a moment of intense concentration, surrounded by the tools of his trade. The composition is rich with detail, from the weathered manuscripts and heavy volumes on the floor to the symbolic chained monkey, all rendered in the dramatic light and shadow characteristic of the artist's finest genre works.
