JKP and Helmut Winkler,
thank you both for your comments.
Yes, it is "obviously a case of uroscopy"...I love how daintily he's holding up that flask of urine, with his pinky finger extended!
I had thought that maybe the "container" could have been used to encase the flask to bring it to the doctor for examination. It hadn't crossed my mind at all that this could be a stove, but I could see that being the case thanks to your explanations.
It is not clear but there appear to be two strings (?), by which the container/stove seems suspended from the woman's hands. But those might just be scratches in the paint or some other accident.
