Black plague

A plague doctor was a medical physician who treated victims of the bubonic plague. In times of epidemics, such physicians were specifically hired by towns where the plague had taken hold. Since the city was paying their salary, they treated everyone: both the wealthy and the poor.

The image is a portrait of a figure wearing a black plague doctor mask with a long beak and a wide-brimmed hat. The mask has a circular eyehole and a white, textured surface. The figure is dressed in a dark cloak and the background is a textured, muted brown.
