A man in a dark coat kneels in shadow, hands pressed together. His face is half lit by a single candle held by a child. The light cuts across his cheek, leaving the rest of the room in deep dark. This kind of scene was rare back then. Most artists painted bright, happy scenes. Strange chose this dark, quiet moment instead. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see it in person.
