Astronomical Observatory

Print. Interior view of an room showing an astronomer wearing a coat and hat peering through a telescope thorugh an open window towards a starry sky. An assistant stands nearby. The cupboards on the far wall are topped by a series of glass jars, possibly used for alchemical experiments, as suggested by the inclusion of a crocodile suspended from the ceiling. A candle burns brightly on a table nearby while an open book lies abandoned on the floor.
