- Abstract
-
"Three doctors, grinning with satisfaction, stand in conference in an apothecary's shop. One (left), very corpulent, his spectacles pushed up on his forehead, holds a bottle labelled 'The Draughts as before Mr Costive'. His vis-à-vis stands chapeau-bras, holding a cane. Both wear old-fashioned dress with tie-wigs. The third, standing behind and between them is more fashionably dressed. On the counter (right) is a pestle and mortar, pill-box, and medicine phials, one labelled going to rest. Behind it are shelves on which are glass jars of varying sizes containing coloured liquids."--British Museum online catalogue
