Marriage A-la-Mode: 3. The Inspection, about 1743

William Hogarth, 1697-1764

"The viscount and his very young mistress are suffering from venereal disease
and visit a quack doctor. The viscount wears a plaster on his neck and holds
out a box of pills. The woman with the threatening expression may be the doctor's
accomplice, or the keeper of a brothel." The National Gallery
