"A Doctor Examining Urine" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Trophime Bigot, also known as the Master of the Candlelight. The work is dated to the 17th century and is a prime example of Bigot's mastery in chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures.

The painting depicts a genre scene, a common subject in Dutch and Flemish art, where a physician is shown in the act of uroscopy, a once-common medical practice where doctors examined a patient's urine for diagnosis. The doctor is typically portrayed holding a flask of urine up to the light, scrutinizing its contents. This scene is not only a representation of a medical practice but also serves as a commentary on the state of medicine and the social attitudes towards the medical profession during the period.

Bigot's work is characterized by its dramatic illumination and attention to detail, with the light source often being a single candle or a hidden source outside the painting's frame. The use of light and shadow in "A Doctor Examining Urine" not only enhances the realism of the scene but also adds a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the work.

While the exact location and ownership of the original painting may not be well-documented, Bigot's paintings are known to be held in various art collections around the world, including in France, Italy, and the United States. His works are considered important contributions to the Caravaggesque style, which was influential in the spread of Baroque painting across Europe.

The painting is an important work for understanding the cultural and historical context of the period, as well as the evolution of medical practices. It also provides insight into the artistic techniques and thematic concerns of Trophime Bigot, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of medicine.
