"Rue des Moulins: The Medical Inspection" is an oil painting by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, created in 1894. This work is one of Toulouse-Lautrec's most poignant explorations of the lives of prostitutes in fin-de-siècle Paris, a subject to which he returned frequently in his art. The painting is named after the Rue des Moulins, a street in the red-light district of Paris where the brothel depicted in the painting was located.

The composition captures a candid and unglamorous moment inside the brothel, as the women undergo a mandatory medical examination to check for sexually transmitted diseases, a common practice in licensed brothels of the era. The scene is set in a clinical, sparsely furnished room, where the women wait their turn, some appearing resigned, others visibly anxious. At the center of the painting, a nude woman stands on a chaise lounge, being examined by a cloaked doctor, whose back is turned to the viewer. This portrayal starkly contrasts with the eroticized images of prostitution prevalent in the art of the time, instead offering a frank and empathetic glimpse into the harsh realities faced by these women.

Toulouse-Lautrec's use of color, light, and brushwork conveys the somber mood of the scene, with muted tones and a focus on the figures' expressions and body language. The artist's personal familiarity with the Parisian demimonde, including friendships with many of its inhabitants, informed his sensitive and often gritty depictions of this underworld.

"Rue des Moulins: The Medical Inspection" is considered an important work in Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre, reflecting his innovative approach to Post-Impressionism and his commitment to social realism. The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in prominent museums, contributing to the understanding of the social context of the late 19th century and the role of art in documenting the human condition.
