Short description: Painting by Marcel Duchamp
Template:Infobox artwork/wikidata Portrait of Dr. Dumouchel is a 1910 painting by Marcel Duchamp from 1910. Raymond Dumouchel was a former schoolmate and a student in Radiology, an emerging field at the time (X-rays had been discovered in 1895). Duchamp painted the left hand of Dumouchel surrounded by an aura, suggestive of both the rays he worked with and his healing powers. [1][2][3]
In a letter to the Arensbergs, Duchamp writes: "The portrait is very colourful (red and green) and has a note of humour which indicated my future direction to abandon mere retinal painting."[4]
Duchamp included a facsimile of the painting in the Boîte-en-valise.[5]
