Caricatured Doctor With A Bird's Head Administering An Enema
A patinated bronze sculpture depicting a humorous caricature of a doctor, portrayed in anthropomorphic form with a bird's head, wearing a frock coat and top hat. The figure deliberately holds an enema syringe, an emblematic medical instrument frequently ridiculed, while leaning on a cane, accentuating the theatrical and comical pose. This work is clearly in the style of J.J. Grandville, the famous 19th-century caricaturist known for his figures blending human and animal features to satirize the social and professional foibles of his time.
