"Beim Zahnarzt" (At the Dentist) is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerrit Dou, created around 1672. Gerrit Dou, a pupil of Rembrandt, is renowned for his meticulous technique and his ability to render textures and details with extraordinary precision. This painting exemplifies Dou's skill in genre painting, a style that depicts scenes from everyday life, often with a moral or humorous undertone.

The composition of "Beim Zahnarzt" is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye to the central action: a dentist extracting a tooth from a patient's mouth. The scene is set in a dimly lit interior, typical of Dou's work, which allows for dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The dentist, dressed in contemporary 17th-century attire, leans over the patient with a focused expression, while the patient grimaces in discomfort. Surrounding them are various objects and instruments, rendered with Dou's characteristic attention to detail, which add to the authenticity of the scene.

Dou's use of light in "Beim Zahnarzt" is particularly noteworthy. A strong light source illuminates the dentist and the patient, creating a stark contrast with the darker background. This technique not only highlights the central figures but also enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene. The textures of the fabrics, the gleam of the metal instruments, and the expressions on the characters' faces are all depicted with remarkable clarity.

"Beim Zahnarzt" is more than just a depiction of a dental procedure; it reflects the social and cultural attitudes of the time. Dental care in the 17th century was rudimentary and often painful, and Dou captures this reality with a blend of realism and subtle humor. The painting also serves as a testament to Dou's mastery of the genre painting tradition, showcasing his ability to transform a mundane subject into a work of art that engages and intrigues the viewer.

Today, "Beim Zahnarzt" is held in high regard as an example of Gerrit Dou's exceptional talent and his contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its insightful portrayal of 17th-century life.
