"A Doctor's Visit" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, who is renowned for his lively and often humorous depictions of everyday life in the 17th century. The painting, created circa 1660–1669, is a quintessential example of Steen's mastery in portraying the human condition with a blend of satire and sympathy. It is housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.

The artwork depicts an interior scene where a young woman is being attended to by a doctor. The scene is rich in narrative and allegorical content, a characteristic feature of Steen's work. The doctor, often interpreted as a quack, is seen examining a vial of the patient's urine, a common diagnostic practice of the time. The patient, a young woman, appears faint and is supported by an older woman, possibly her mother. The presence of an elegantly dressed suitor or a concerned family member, along with various onlookers, adds to the complexity of the scene.

Steen's use of vivid colors, attention to detail, and the expressive faces of his characters contribute to the storytelling aspect of the painting. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye through the narrative, with each character playing a role in the unfolding drama. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on contemporary medical practices, the roles of women in society, and the folly of human behavior.

"A Doctor's Visit" is an important work within Jan Steen's oeuvre and is celebrated for its artistry and its insightful, yet humorous, commentary on 17th-century Dutch life. The painting is a valuable piece for scholars studying the social history and art of the Dutch Golden Age, as it provides a window into the customs, beliefs, and daily activities of the period.
