Doctor, Doctor was painted in 1971, using water-color, blue ink and oil on card. Robert Descharnes, an expert on Dalí as well as his friend of many years, has verified that this painting was indeed executed by Dalí. Such verification has become necessary following the discovery of thousands of fraudulent Dalí works over the past two decades. It has been claimed that Dalí signed thousands of sheets of blank paper that another artist could then use in order to pass off their own work as an original Dalí.
    Like Le Char d'Or (1971) this painting gives off a simple, childlike image; the brushwork is elementary and minimal. The techniques used in these two pictures contrast with Dalí's usual technique of painting; he described his aim was to produce "instantaneous and hand-done color photography of the superfine, extravagant, extra plastic".
    Doctor, Doctor suggests a deathbed scene. The patient lying in bed is lit up by the light that descends from the heavens. Through the open window, the familiar image of the rider and horse, seen in so many of Dalí's paintings from the Thirties onwards, can be seen hailing the patient, as if he were Dalí's symbolic Grim Reaper.
