An Alchemist at Work
An Alchemist at Work, with a Mother by a Cradle Beyond
- 1600s
An alchemist seated at his desk glances down at his assistant, who works on the floor beside him. A globe and lectern indicate his scholarly studies. Large earthenware jars, jugs, and other vessels sit piled high beside the desk, along with texts and papers. In the far background, a mother sits beside a cradle in the luminous and gentle glow of an open window.
