The Prophet Elijah with the Widow of Zarephath and her Son is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a scene of three people gathered around a table. The man on the left has a long white beard and is dressed in brown robes, while the woman in the center wears a white head covering and a white apron over a dark dress. A young boy sits on a chair beside her, holding a plate. The room is dimly lit, with a fire burning in the corner. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast in the painting. The warm glow of the fire illuminates the faces of the figures, while the shadows cast by the table and chairs add a sense of texture and dimensionality. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
