About this work

An elderly alchemist in a green turban and brown robe sits at a workbench covered with gold chains, coins, glass flasks, and laboratory tools, while a bare-breasted female figure with a white headscarf leans over his shoulder. Behind them a furnace and a fiery landscape with burning towers suggest the dangers of the alchemical process.
