Alchemist demonstrating in a royal court, after Brožík

Pen-and-ink drawing on tan paper of a crowded court scene, with robed courtiers and a seated central figure in a fur-trimmed cloak gathered around a table. At left, a furnace, cauldron and glass vessels suggest an alchemist's workshop, while a soldier in armour and a dog stand at right.
