In a large stone chamber, a young woman in a blue skirt leans close to study a flask held by an elderly, bearded iatrochemist. He rests against a table covered with an embroidered carpet, topped with other glass vessels and jars. At left, a small child plays among discarded earthenware pots. Through an alcove to the rear of the room, that iatrochemist's furnace and experimental equipment can be seen.
