This is a copy of Netscher's painting in the Dresden Gallery, signed and dated 1664. A young woman sits at a table, her right hand to her bosom, her head held up to look at the physician standing beside her in a fur-trimmed dark coat and hat; he feels her pulse, holding up a sample bottle; a maid draws bed curtains behind. The theme of the physician examining the urine of an attractive young woman seems to have been a stock joke in seventeenth-century Holland: they understood that the girl in question was not really ill, merely pregnant (or possibly love-sick). The comedy presumably lay in the idea that professionals go through much rigmarole but fail to spot that which is obvious to those who are wise in the ways of the world.
