"The Doctor's Visit" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Verkolje (also known as Johannes Verkolje), created in 1680. This artwork is notable for its depiction of a scene from everyday life in the 17th century, a common theme in Dutch genre painting. The painting portrays a moment in an interior setting where a doctor is visiting a young female patient. It is imbued with the subtle interplay of looks and gestures, which suggests a narrative open to interpretation.

In "The Doctor's Visit," Verkolje demonstrates his skill in capturing the textures of luxurious fabrics and the interplay of light and shadow, which adds depth and realism to the scene. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye through the scene, with attention to the figures' expressions and the details of the room. The painting is also an example of the artist's ability to convey a sense of intimacy and private emotion, which is characteristic of his work.

Jan Verkolje was a versatile artist, adept in painting, engraving, and mezzotint, and his works often reflect the influence of his contemporaries, such as Gerard ter Borch and Gabriel Metsu. "The Doctor's Visit" is a testament to Verkolje's talent in genre painting and contributes to our understanding of social customs and medical practices of the time.

The painting is part of a tradition of Dutch genre scenes that often included a moralizing element or a commentary on contemporary society. The ambiguous interaction between the doctor and his patient in this work has been the subject of various interpretations, some suggesting a romantic or even an erotic undercurrent, which was not uncommon in Dutch genre paintings of this period.

"The Doctor's Visit" by Jan Verkolje remains an important work for its artistic merit and for the insight it provides into the culture and society of the Dutch Golden Age. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of 17th-century Dutch art.
