A shadowy domestic interior with a young woman seated in the foreground to the left, in an orange silk dress, with a maroon fur-trimmed housecoat and white headscarf. She leans against a pillow on the table to the left, with one hand raised to her forehead, a peeled orange on a silver plate lying on the table beside the pillow, her feet resting on a footwarmer. An older couple stand behind her looking in a concerned manner at a phial which the doctor holds up in his right hand. The doctor is dressed in black with touches of white at the neck and wrists. A small dog stands in the bottom left corner, beside a silver chamber pot.
