This painting depicts a man and woman standing together, with the man holding a glowing object. The woman is dressed in a long blue dress with white trim, while the man wears a brown suit. The background of the painting is a light gray color. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be concentrating on the object in his hand. The woman's expression is more subdued, and she seems to be observing the man's actions. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
