Sir Luke Fildes painted 'The Doctor' in 1887.
Here is the information I have found. I have this old print and it is beautiful and touching but almost to sad "The Doctor" by Sir Samuel Luke Fildes conveys an agonizing parental vigil over a sick child, and the solemn devotion of the physician entrusted with her care. When commissioned by a wealthy patron of the arts to create a painting that depicted Social Realism, Fildes (1844 - 1927) drew upon the heart-wrenching death of his son, as well as his gratitude toward the noble, dedicated doctor who cared for him. For accuracy, Fildes built a cottage interior in his studio and began working at dawn to reproduce specific lighting. One of the best-known medical paintings in the Western world, this piece by Fildes is symbolic of the ideal physician. to hang on the wall. I'm not sure yet what I will do with it...
No particular village - just a typical one.
I believe it's owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber
I have seen this reproduction water color picture only twice in antique shops in MN. Both were priced approx. $65 - $85. I found a very good copy on E-Bay (abt. 14 x 18") for...I believe, less then $20. I feel very fortunate for "stealing" it at that price.
