He is an alchemist in the process of trying to turn base metals into silver or gold. His shabby and chaotic surroundings suggest that he is so obsessed with his work that he has neglected his other responsibilities, as well as squandering his possessions away. The loose, sketchy brushstrokes the artist has used to depict some of the items strewn on the floor, such as the dirty rags and straw, emphasise the disorder of the room.\n\nThe man’s family appear in the shadowy background: two young children entertain themselves while their mother wipes the bottom of the baby on her knee. The alchemist pays them no attention as he hunches over the fire, his eyes fixed on the task in front of him.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/adriaen-van-ostade-an-alchemist\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - An Alchemist\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adriaen Van Ostade","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509360693491,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (13 3\/8\" x 17 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509360726259,"sku":null,"price":522.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 1\/2\" x 20 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509360759027,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19\" x 25 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509360791795,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 1\/4\" x 31\")","offer_id":50509360824563,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30 1\/8\" x 40\")","offer_id":50509360857331,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (36 1\/8\" x 48 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509360890099,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (42 1\/2\" x 56 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509360922867,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (51\" x 68\")","offer_id":50509360955635,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AnAlchemist.jpg?v=1788792819","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/an-alchemist-ngal37","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
