A physician sitting before a table, holding a urine flask, with two women, a boy and several other figures in the room. Oil painting by Gerard Thomas. Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). Source: Wellcome Collection.
The interior of a large L-shaped room containing alchemical and pharmaceutical equipment, a Roman sculpted bust, and a fish suspended from the ceiling (features of the museum of a curioso). Centre, a table on which are an oriental rug, a celestial globe, a drug-jar, a document with a seal, and a large folio volume open to show the heading "LIBRI GALEN I DE MEDECINA" and letterpress in double-column
Left, a physician of the savant-type, dressed in a fur-lined gown, seated at the table, holds up a urine-flask in his right hand, and turns to look at it. Left, behind him, a young woman (presumably the bearer of the urine) and an older woman (perhaps her "chaperone"). Right foreground, an apprentice brings a pharmacy-jar towards his master. In the back-ground, four men performing alchemical and/or pharmaceutical operations at a kiln. Apparatus is littered all over the floor. A dog scampers in the left foreground
