The Alchemical Properties of Metal: Mercury, Vulcan, and the Alchemist in the Cave
The image shows a black-and-white illustration on aged paper. The illustration depicts a scene with multiple figures. In the foreground, a shirtless man carries a bundle of sticks on his shoulder, walking to the right. Behind him, three shirtless people run or walk to the left; one of them reaches back. On the right side, a figure stands in a cave. In the top left, a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat appears to be jumping or flying; one arm is raised. The background features a body of water with a mountain range and a distant island. The sky above has some clouds. The illustration's border resembles an etched or engraved work. The paper is beige with darker spots, suggesting age.
