Painting titled An Alchemist's Laboratory, depicts a bearded alchemist in a monk-like robe studying an open text on his lap. Beside him, an open furnace provides a warm orange glow of leaping flames and a thin trail of rising smoke. Glass distillation vessels, bottles, and vials rest on a nearby table.
