About this work

An Alchemist, attributed to Jan Steen and dated 1625, shows a bearded man in a red cap and yellow robe bent over a copper pot on a wooden table, stirring with a stick. Beside him sit a glass flask, a folded paper and a wedge of cheese, while two onlookers lean in from behind and a woman at the right tends to a cloth in a dim room with hanging meat.
