Description
AUSTRIAN SCHOOL, c. 1860. In the style of Karl von CALZADA. ‘A Visit to the Apothecary’. Oil on metal in a lovely period frame. H.28 L.24; with frame H.34 L.38. Several versions of this painting are known to exist, but this one is remarkably precise and features a wealth of details to be discovered, such as the skull resting on the shelf, the mortar and pestle, the enema set, and the bunch of garlic hanging there, renowned for its therapeutic properties. A moving testament to the care that apothecaries or healers could provide in rural or working-class communities! Provenance: former Montpellier collection
