The Doctor's Visit is a 1667 oil by Frans van Mieris the Elder, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
In this painting, a group of people are gathered in a dimly lit room. A woman in a red coat sits on the floor, while another woman stands behind her, supporting her. A man stands nearby, holding a glass container. The room is decorated with a fireplace and a painting on the wall. The scene appears to be set in a wealthy household, with the characters dressed in fine clothing. The atmosphere is somber, with the woman on the floor looking unwell. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
Frans van Mieris the Elder (16 April 1635 – 12 March 1681), was a Dutch Golden Age genre and portrait painter.
