The Doctor’s Visit — Elisabeth Geertruida Wassenbergh

Elisabeth Geertruida Wassenbergh. Painted 1750 - 1760.

While a doctor takes the young woman’s pulse under her mother’s watchful eye, the playing boy gives away the true nature of her ailment. It is lovesickness, caused by Cupid, god of love, who shoots arrows into people’s hearts. Elisabeth Geertruida Wassenbergh from Groningen garnered much admiration for her meticulously painted daily life scenes. In this, she chose her own path, because her teacher – her father – specialized in portraits and interior scenes.
