Grabado en blanco y negro de un alquimista en un laboratorio desordenado con frascos y alambiques, y una familia que visita un asilo en una escena de pueblo a la derecha.

El laboratorio del alquimista, según Brueghel

Un grabado muestra a un alquimista junto a una mesa de trabajo en un laboratorio abarrotado de frascos, alambiques y vasijas, mientras una mujer y niños se asoman a una puerta. En el ángulo superior derecho, una familia en un pueblo nevado se acerca a un asilo para pobres. Versos latinos inscritos recorren el borde inferior.
