On the left side, we witness a physician being summoned to attend to a sick patient. With great care and expertise, he examines his patient on the right side. In times of illness, physicians are revered as gods capable of healing any ailment. This belief is beautifully portrayed through this artwork's powerful imagery and symbolism.
