- Description
- 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.
