This artwork, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing intricate details and emotions. In this scene, we see three individuals gathered around a table in a country kitchen. A male physician, dressed in traditional attire, attentively listens to a woman describing her chest infection symptoms.
