The Inspection

:

The young husband now has a problem - venereal disease. He takes two recent conquests to a quack to see which has infected him. The doctor wipes his glasses in bemused anticipation. The young girl, a servant, weeps in bitter shame. The larger woman, a prostitute, draws a knife to fight rather than submit to examination. The setting of the doctor's office is a triumph of the macabre: the cumbersome machine in the lower right-hand corner is for setting dislocated limbs, and a skeleton in the closet makes a suggestive pass at an anatomical model.
