Denis Dodart Mémoire page 1, Sébastien Leclerc, 1656

The chemical laboratory of the academy. Among the academicians seated or standing around the table should be bourdelin, duclos, n. Marchant, and possibly dodart, du hamel, and gallois. The older man on the right who reaches toward the table with a vial in his right hand resembles portraits of duclos. In the shelves behind academicians and visitors is apparatus, including on the top left an alembic and below it two aludels and a bell jar, and on the right, a mortar and pestle. One assistant works at the window with a balance, another at the furnace on which is an alembic at the far right. Date: 1656.
