Chiaroscuro and Tenebrism style painting of an eighteenth century woman walking to the outhouse in the dark of night; guided only by the light of a single candle in a chamberstick holder. pronounced chiaroscuro, where there are violent contrasts of light and dark, and where darkness becomes a dominating feature of the image
A renaissance style painting of a young woman in an old-fashioned brown dress with a white ruffled chemise and a white cap peeking out from the door of a stone building, holding a lit candle on a small black saucer-like candleholder in her right hand as she looks intently towards a small dark wooden outhouse with a rounded top and a single vertical line on its face, located in the dark background to her far right. The dim light from the candle illuminates her face, chest, and arms, as well as the stone wall of the building to her left, the bushy plants in the dark ground in front of her, and the uneven dirt path leading to the outhouse. In the foreground on her left, the lower and upper parts of a brown wooden door frame are visible. The image is taken at night, and the rest of the setting is shadowed from the candle's weak light and gives a mysterious and eerie feeling.
