Before the stethoscope

'The Examination' by Jules-Abel Faivre, c. 1898. 
A beautiful, young woman looks away coyly while an aged doctor examines her chest.

The painting depicts the technique of "direct auscultation" used by physicians before Laennec invented the stethoscope.

From the Wellcome Collection, via marinni.
