Description: | A medical practioner is shown examining a urine flask, the ancient art known as uroscopy whereby an ailment is diagnosed by looking at the urine. He is surrounded by alchemical and scholarly apparatus and books. A mother, daughter and child are consulting the practioner and the inference might be that she is there to see if she is pregnant. The work is close in subject matter and composition to the work of Balthasar van den Bossche. | Subjects: | interior; figure; still life; everyday life; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bossche, Balthasar van den (Flemish painter, 1681-1715) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8328... | Go to resource |
