The Dutch Chymists: alchemist at work over a crucible
A bearded alchemist in an orange cap and red-sleeved robe leans over a table, tending a copper pot and a glass flask amid laboratory clutter. Two onlookers in tall and wide-brimmed hats peer at a paper, while a distressed woman raises her hands to her head at left in this hand-coloured lithograph.
