The Alchemist Lorens Weiskopf is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a bearded man in dark robes, holding a rolled-up paper with writing on it. His left hand rests on a small object inside an open book, while his right hand points outward as if explaining something. The background is mostly black, making his face and clothes stand out clearly. The rolled paper has German text, which might hint at a story or message. The lighting focuses on his face, creating strong shadows that make the details pop. If you like this style, look into chiaroscuro.
