An Alchemists' Workshop is a 1730 paint by Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich, a Rococo painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a cluttered workshop with various objects scattered around the room. In the center, a man sits at a table, surrounded by papers, books, and strange contraptions. To his right, a woman tends to a baby in a cradle, while a small child plays nearby. The room is dimly lit, with only a few rays of light peeking through the windows. In the background, a large furnace dominates the space, emitting a warm glow that illuminates the surrounding area. The overall atmosphere is one of chaos and disarray, with objects and people seemingly thrown together in a haphazard manner.
