Summary
Allegorical figure of the physician as a demonic figure (with horns, asses' ears, goat's beard and wings) standing among books and tools of the medical profession and holding his hands out for money. Two interior scenes in the background: to viewer's left, the doctor gestures towards the old man who has recovered and stands beside his four-poster bed; to right, the doctor confronts his cured patient and holds out his hand to collect his fee.
