In a fashionable parlor, two well-dressed couples entertain each other. On the right a gentleman plays the violin as his companion sings; she holds sheet music in her hand as she faces the fireplace, her back to the viewer. The violinist stands on a sheet of paper on which is written "The downfall of Paris." Above the fireplace, over a mantel with piles of books, including a volume with Code Napoleon written on its spine, is a portrait of "Napoleon le-Grand" and on either side, landscape views of Elba and St. Helena. On the left an effeminate soldier with a medal that reads "Jena" (a reference to the 1806 victory?) offers a young lady plates of fruit and cookies. The side table beside them is laiddened with fruit, flowers, liquor, and cookies. A fluffy, white dog barks at her feet. Pairs of Cupids with arrows and with laurel wreaths decorate the wallpaper

"The artist introduces us to the laboratory of a so-called alchemist. A roguish Jew and his familiar are busily engaged in the transmutation of metals; the servant, with a pair of long- nozzled bellows, is engaged in kindling the furnace, in which is a crucible; various retorts, alembics, and other paraphernalia of the 'black arts,' are scattered about, as well as a formula for 'changing lead into gold'; although the alchemists at best could only contrive to accomplish the reverse transmutation. Suggestive prints are hung on the walls of this chamber of mystery, such as the portrait of the notorious 'Count Cagliostro, discoverer of the Philosopher's Stone,' and the figure of the spurious 'Bottle Conjurer.' A military officer, in the next apartment, is turning his opportunities to more practical advantage by embracing, with a certain display of ardour, a pretty maiden who is nothing loth, the daughter, it appears, of the philosophically minded investigator."--Grego, J.
