David Teniers the Younger (1610-1690), the alchemist in his workshop, oil on canvas (+)
The alchemist is a scientist who is trying to make gold. He kindles a fire to heat an experiment. The space is filled with strange kettles, stoves and glassware. The alchemist was a popular theme in Flemish painting of the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Several versions by David Teniers II exist. He symbolises the man who squanders his money on futile, trivial matters and is therefore reduced to beggary.

This work is monogrammed on the jar in the centre of the foreground.

(+) Accompanied by a certificate from Max Jakob Friedlander (Amsterdam, 1948).
