The Alchemist in his Study with a Woman Making Lace

A dark study illuminated by single leaded glass window at left; in middle ground a seated man behind cluttered desk faces slightly left; open and closed books, papers, jars, and jugs scattered on floor. At right a seated woman in white cap, collar, and cuff, bends over a lacemaker; at left a glowing furnace, above that on wall a portrait of a man.
