Druid in a Brass Alchemical Lab (Oil Painting)

An oil painting on canvas of a druid in a brass laboratory. A tall figure wearing a moss-green hooded cloak and weathered robes stands beside a workbench cluttered with brass alchemical instruments: flasks, retorts, glass bell jars, pressure gauges and ornate gears. The room is lined with brass panels and glowing glassware, with ivy and moss climbing along pipes. The druid holds a carved wooden staff etched with runes, which radiates a faint emerald glow. A small plant hovers near the staff, its leaves shimmering as if guided by magic. Warm amber light from gas lamps bathes the scene, creating dramatic chiaroscuro and a smoky, otherworldly atmosphere. The painterly style features loose, expressive brushstrokes, visible impasto on highlights, and rich earth tones with luminous brass reflections, evoking Romantic or Baroque painting.
