"A Quack and His Assistant" is a 17th-century oil painting by Dutch artist Jan Miense Molenaer, created circa 1630. The artwork is a genre painting, a form that Molenaer was known for, depicting scenes from everyday life with a humorous or moralizing undertone. This painting illustrates a quack, or a charlatan doctor, peddling his wares or services to an audience, a common trope in Dutch Golden Age painting that often served as a cautionary tale about gullibility and deceit.

In the composition, the quack is typically shown as a flamboyant figure, engaging with onlookers and potential customers, while his assistant helps to gather a crowd or display the products. The scene is often lively, filled with various characters, each reacting differently to the spectacle. Molenaer's work is characterized by its satirical edge, capturing the folly of human nature with a keen and often comical eye.

The painting is executed with the fine brushwork and attention to detail that are hallmarks of Molenaer's style. His use of color and light reflects the influence of the Haarlem school of painting, where he was active. "A Quack and His Assistant" not only provides insight into the social dynamics of the period but also showcases Molenaer's skill in rendering human expressions and interactions.
