"The Doctor" is an iconic oil painting by Sir Samuel Luke Fildes, completed in 1891 and exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London the same year. The artwork is renowned for its poignant depiction of a Victorian-era physician watching over a sick child through the night, reflecting the dedication and compassionate care provided by medical professionals. Fildes was inspired to create this masterpiece following the death of his first son, Philip, who succumbed to typhoid fever in 1877, and the painting is a tribute to the doctor who tended to his son during his illness.

Measuring approximately 166.4 x 241.9 cm, "The Doctor" is characterized by its realistic portrayal and emotional depth, capturing a moment of quiet intensity and the anxious concern of the parents in the background. The painting's composition focuses on the figure of the doctor, seated beside the bed of the child, who lies illuminated by the light of a single lamp, symbolizing the hope and vigilance that the physician represents.

"The Doctor" received widespread acclaim upon its unveiling, resonating with the public and the medical community alike for its representation of professional dedication. It has since become emblematic of the ethos of medical care and has been used in various campaigns and discussions about the medical profession's values and responsibilities. The painting is currently housed in the Tate Gallery in London and remains a significant work in the history of British art, often cited for its influence on the perception of doctors and the humanistic aspect of medical practice.

As a testament to its cultural impact, "The Doctor" has been reproduced in numerous prints and has been referenced in medical literature and popular culture. It stands as a powerful example of Victorian genre painting and continues to be studied and admired for its technical skill and emotional resonance. Sir Samuel Luke Fildes' work remains an important piece in the narrative of social realism and the visual arts' engagement with themes of health and humanity.
