At the Optician (Eye Test)

Two figures face each other on stools with green cushions, a wooden cabinet and a bracketed instrument standing between them. The optometrist bends toward his patient, white coat over blue trousers, one hand on the eyepiece. The girl sits upright with her hands in her lap and her face lifted to the lens, in a pink dress printed with small flowers and red shoes. The painting keeps the contrast plain — white coat against pink cotton — and a gold scroll runs along the oval base.
