Alchemist Laboratory, 18th Century


Interior with shelves of phials and trays to right, where an elderly man is sitting before a brazier, heating something on a tripod through two glass funnels, with an allegorical female holding a globe standing behind and turning back to left, watching as a young man focuses light from a telescope onto an object in a glass jar, a book labelled 'Chemistry' and jars in the left foreground. Painting by Richard Corbould
