After training with alexandre cabanel (1823-89) and jean-léon gérôme (1824-1904), dagnan-bouveret turned from classical themes to subjects drawn from everyday life. In this scene, a country doctor bandages a boy's injured hand, while his family looks on with varying expressions of concern. The artist witnessed an incident like this while traveling with a doctor friend in the franche-comté region of eastern france. When this painting was exhibited at the paris salon in 1880, it established the artist's reputation as both a perceptive reporter of rural customs and a realist who explored the psychological states of his subjects.
