Large racks of glass distillation vessels and apothecary jars line the walls. Women and young assistants gather materials and tend fires, while the alchemist attentively supervises and speaks with a young apprentice. Through the large vaulted door, a tree-lined landscape can be seen in the distance. KW - Alchemists KW - Alchemy KW - Alchemists in art LA - ER -
