- Abstract
-
Inside a large room, a bearded man dressed in a fur-lined short coat and a fur hat, in a Dutch-style, sits at the table assessing the contents of a bottle he is holding up in his right hand. With his left hand he holds open a book. Several other volumes are heaped on the table, next to which is an ink-well and hour-glass. A sad-looking woman stands next to the table, waiting for the medicine. Another woman enters through the door on the right. Several containers, including bottles and jars, stand on the floor around the room. In the background, a man sitting at a long bench is busy mixing contents in a mortar, while another man, standing next to him, is adding to it some liquid. On the shelf above them are many more bottles and jars
