Looking for the title of a famous painting.

[James Anatidae]

It's late nineteenth century painting of a doctor performing surgery (In
suit and tie, no less!) and I think with students watching. The doctor is
looking up, blood on his scalpel. It's been a while so please forgive me if
I got some details wrong.

"It really depends upon how our nation conducts itself in foreign policy. If
we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us. If we're a humble nation but
strong, they'll welcome us. And our nation stands alone right now in the
world in terms of power. And that's why we've got to be humble and yet
project strength in a way that promotes freedom. So I don't think they
ought to look at us in any other than what we are. We're a freedom loving
nation. And if we're an arrogant nation, they'll view us that way. But if
we're a humble nation, they'll respect us as an honorable nation."
