This painting depicts a dimly lit courtyard, with a figure sitting in the shadows. The walls are rendered in muted tones, with the light source coming from an unseen window above. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the figure in the corner. The painting is held at the Art Institute of Chicago.
