Abraham Trembley in his laboratory with pupils
Interior view, the naturalist Abraham Trembley showing specimens to his two pupils, the sons of Count Willem Bentinck (1704-1774). The elder of the two boys is shown kneeling on a chair, looking through a glass or microscope. The younger peers into a glass jar in which freshwater hydra are kept and there are rows of such jars behind this grouping, with books and a cabinet.
