Symbolical representation of alchemical processes

A large circular alchemical diagram dominates the center of the page. It consists of a multi-layered vessel or furnace. In the center, a crowned figure (the Sun King) stands in a red field. Surrounding this are celestial motifs including the sun and moon. Below the central figure are three arched openings; in front of them are symbolic animals: a lion, a lamb, and an archer. Further down the page, outside the main circle, are two large human figures. On the left, a figure in red (Sol/the Sun) holds a sun-like object and a text scroll. On the right, a figure in white robes (Luna/the Moon) holds a vessel or moon and a corresponding scroll. Between them stands a vertical cylinder showing the color stages of the alchemical process: red at the top, followed by black, blue, and a golden-green base.
