"Doctor's Visit" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen, created between 1658 and 1662. This work is one of Steen's many paintings that depict lively household scenes, often with a moralizing theme or a humorous undertone. The painting showcases a young woman who appears to be unwell, receiving attention from a visiting doctor. In the tradition of Dutch genre painting, the scene is likely to be an allegory, possibly relating to love sickness, a common trope in 17th-century art where the malady is humorously diagnosed and treated by a physician.

The composition of "Doctor's Visit" is rich in detail and symbolism, characteristic of Jan Steen's work. The figures are typically set in a domestic interior, and the interaction between characters is often laced with irony and social commentary. Steen's mastery in portraying expressions and everyday life is evident in this painting, as he captures the nuances of human behavior and the textures of the sumptuous fabrics and objects within the room.

Jan Steen, who was also the owner of a brewery and a tavern, had a keen eye for the vices and virtues of his contemporaries, which he depicted with both humor and a moralizing message. His works often include a chaotic element, reflecting the Dutch proverb "a Jan Steen household," which refers to a disorderly home. "Doctor's Visit" is no exception, as it presents a narrative that goes beyond mere observation, inviting viewers to consider the underlying story and its implications.

As with many of Steen's paintings, "Doctor's Visit" is held in high regard for its technical skill, narrative quality, and the insight it provides into 17th-century Dutch society. The painting is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
