This coloured engraving from the 18th century, titled "The Urine Examination" takes us back in time to a pivotal moment in medical history. The image showcases a doctor and his patient engaged in a consultation, with an air of anticipation and curiosity filling the room. Both male and female figures are present, highlighting the inclusivity of healthcare even during this era. The focal point of the artwork is undoubtedly the examination itself - a urine sample carefully analyzed by the doctor. This intricate process was crucial for diagnosing various ailments and understanding overall health conditions at that time. The artist's attention to detail is evident as we observe the doctor meticulously examining every aspect of the specimen. Intriguingly, amidst this scientific setting lies a skull on display, symbolizing mortality and reminding us of medicine's ultimate purpose: to preserve life and alleviate suffering. It serves as a constant reminder for both patients and doctors about our shared vulnerability. "The Urine Examination" print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how far medical practices have evolved since then while acknowledging their historical significance.
