Not on view

An elderly woman sits in an armchair while a doctor holds her wrist and puts his arm around a young woman who leans on the back of the chair. They gaze into each other's eyes. On the table at the old woman's elbow are medicine vials, a bowl of "Composing Draught," and a pill-box inscribed "Opium." The doctor has a gold-headed cane inscribed "Medical Staff."
