 "The Medical Examination" (following a "Wasted Lesson in Morals" ), c. 1670  by Godfried Schalcken (1643-1706) - Mauritshuis Museum, The Hague, The Netherlands.

NOTE: A woman who wasted her morals is now confronted with the diagnosis of pregnancy through the examination of her urine - doctors were often called then "piss-prophets".
