Sold Without Reserve | 17TH CENTURY FOLLOWER OF LUCAS VAN LEYDEN | A SURGEON WITH HIS PATIENT

The prints of Lucas van Leyden circulated widely in the 17th century in the Netherlands, where they became popular sources of inspiration for artists. The present painting, for example, closely follows Lucas van Leyden's 1524 print of a surgeon attending to a patient in an interior (fig. 1).
