About this work

This painting shows two robed men sitting in dim light. One holds a book. Above them, a shadowy figure with wings plays a violin. The scene looks like a church or old stone room. The dark background makes the figures stand out. The artist used light and shadow to create drama. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this works.
