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.

How much does the painting the doctor by sir Samuel Luke Fildes sell for?
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.
