Gravura em preto e branco de um laboratório de alquimista desordenado; um jovem bebe de um copo enquanto um homem mais velho cai no chão perto de um livro aberto.

O elixir da longa vida: laboratório de alquimista

Uma xilogravura mostra um laboratório de alquimista abarrotado, com um forno de pedra, prateleiras de frascos e vasilhas e uma caveira pendurada no alto. Um jovem de meias bebe de um copo enquanto um homem mais velho cai no chão ao lado de um livro aberto. Morcegos e fumaça ocupam os cantos superiores.
