La Pharmacie Rustique
1775
The bottom part of the print, missing in this example, identifies the scene as “La Pharmacie Rustique” in the Swiss Alps. The plump proprietor, Michael Schüppach, is shown examining a vial of urine, presumably that of the wealthy woman and well-dressed woman. This image was drawn by Gottfried Locher in 1774 and printed by Barthelemi Hubner in 1775.
