"Albertine at the Police Doctor's Waiting Room" is a significant painting by the Norwegian realist and naturalist painter Christian Krohg, created in 1885-1887. This work is part of a series that delves into the social issue of prostitution in late 19th-century Norway, particularly focusing on the controversial subject of state-regulated prostitution. The painting is a poignant depiction of Albertine, a character from Krohg's novel "Albertine" (1886), which narrates the story of a young seamstress who, due to economic desperation, is drawn into prostitution.

The painting is set in the waiting room of a police doctor, where women registered as prostitutes were required to undergo mandatory health checks, a practice intended to control sexually transmitted diseases but also a means of state control over women's bodies. Krohg's work is a critical commentary on the moral and social implications of such regulations, highlighting the humiliation and despair faced by these women. The figure of Albertine is portrayed with a sense of vulnerability and resignation, capturing the emotional and psychological toll of her circumstances.

"Albertine at the Police Doctor's Waiting Room" is celebrated for its empathetic portrayal of its subject and its bold critique of societal norms. The painting's realism and emotional depth make it a powerful example of Krohg's commitment to social realism, and it remains an important work for understanding the social context and artistic movements of late 19th-century Scandinavia. The painting is not only a significant piece of Norwegian art history but also a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by marginalized individuals in society.
