"The Physician" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Gerrit Dou, a pupil of Rembrandt. Known for his fine brushwork and attention to detail, Dou was a leading figure in the Leiden fijnschilders, a group of painters from Leiden who were known for their highly detailed works. "The Physician" exemplifies Dou's meticulous technique and his fascination with the effects of light and texture.

The painting depicts a scene in which a physician is examining a flask containing a patient's urine, a common diagnostic practice in the pre-modern medical tradition of uroscopy. The physician's face is illuminated by the light passing through the flask, showcasing Dou's skill in rendering the interplay of light and shadow. The composition often includes a table upon which rests an array of medical and scholarly objects, such as books, instruments, and papers, reflecting the physician's learned status.

"The Physician" is celebrated for its lifelike portrayal and the intimate glimpse it provides into 17th-century medical practice. The painting's small scale is typical of Dou's oeuvre, as he often created works meant for close viewing, allowing the observer to appreciate the fine details and textures that characterize his style.

As a work of art, "The Physician" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of the history of medicine and the social status of physicians during the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is held in high regard and can be found in the collection of a notable museum, where it continues to be studied and admired by both art historians and the general public.
