Commentary
Joseph Philip est docteur de la Faculté de Reims en 1762, puis de Paris en 1764. Il exploita après son maître Louis Chomel le privilège de la distribution des médicaments dans les provinces pour le compte du roi ce qui était une lucrative opération. Le revers de ce jeton fait justement allusion à ces charges pharmaceutiques : le médecin Philippe est en train de lire à Alexandre, prêt à boire le breuvage qui lui a été servi, la lettre qui l’accuse injustement d’infidélité au roi.
