"Touch for Touch or a Female Physician in Full Practice" is a satirical print created by the British artist Thomas Rowlandson in 1799. Rowlandson, known for his caricatures and social satire, often depicted the vices and follies of his time through his artwork. This particular print is no exception, as it humorously portrays the interactions between a female physician and her male patients, a subject that plays on the gender norms and medical practices of the late 18th century.

The print features a well-dressed woman, presumably the 'female physician,' attending to a queue of male patients. Each man appears to be eagerly awaiting his turn for her 'treatment,' which involves a direct and rather intimate 'touch.' The scene is rife with innuendo, as the title "Touch for Touch" suggests a quid pro quo arrangement, blurring the lines between professional medical care and sexual services. The artwork reflects the skepticism and humor with which some viewed the emerging role of women in professions traditionally dominated by men, such as medicine.

Rowlandson's work is characterized by its vibrant watercolors and fine etching, capturing the expressions and body language of his subjects with both accuracy and exaggeration. "Touch for Touch or a Female Physician in Full Practice" is a prime example of his ability to critique social norms while entertaining his audience. The print remains an important piece of social commentary, offering insight into the gender dynamics and cultural attitudes of the time.

As with many of Rowlandson's prints, this piece would have been sold individually or as part of a series in print shops, and it would have been accessible to the middle and upper classes of society. The print continues to be studied by art historians and social scholars for its artistic merit and its portrayal of 18th-century British society. It is held in various art collections and institutions, serving as a testament to Rowlandson's enduring legacy as a caricaturist and social commentator.
