The Doctor's Visit in a Rich Interior
Jan Steen · 1661
Why it's great
A doctor takes the pulse of a young woman, who is sick with a case of love, while her family looks anxiously on. Jan Steen painted it in about 1661, and the doctor's visit was a joke he liked to paint.

J
Jan Steen was a Dutch painter born in Leiden in 1626. He painted lively, messy family scenes and parties full of jokes and lessons, so much that a messy home is called a Jan Steen household in Dutch. He died in 1679.
