The Doctor's Visit is a 1660 oil by Jan Steen, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Bed, held at Mauritshuis.
In the painting, a woman in a brown dress and white apron stands beside a man in a black hat and coat, who is seated in a chair. The man holds a glass of red liquid, while the woman offers him a white object. To their left, a person lies in a bed with a canopy, covered by a white sheet. The scene is set in a room with a stone floor and a painting on the wall above the bed. The atmosphere is one of quiet intimacy, with the three figures engaged in a private moment.
