About the Item

Oil on Canvas. The painting offers a half-length portrait of a young man in deshabillé who is lighting his pipe by drawing fire with a stick from the candle placed in front of him on the table where a sword also rests: perhaps this is a young knight in a moment of rest. It is precisely the candle, the only source of light in the scene, that suggests that the artist was looking to the production of Georges De La Tour (1593 -1652), the French Caravaggesque-style painter who became known for his "nocturnal" scenes, characterized by figures, usually low-ranking people rather than historical models or high-ranking figures, illuminated by candlelight, to create a special atmosphere of intimacy. The painting, restored and re-framed, is presented in a styled frame.
