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.

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.
