"A Candlelit Interior with a Young Man Seated at a Table, Lighting His Pipe" is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Arnold Boonen (1669–1729). This evocative work captures a moment of quiet domesticity, illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. Boonen, who was known for his portraits and genre scenes, demonstrates his skill in rendering light and shadow to create a sense of intimacy and atmosphere.

The painting depicts a young man in 17th-century attire, absorbed in the act of lighting his pipe. The scene is set within a dimly lit interior, where the primary source of light emanates from a candle, casting a warm luminance that highlights the young man's features and the immediate surroundings. The intricate play of light and shadow not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the composition but also contributes to the overall mood of the painting.

Boonen's attention to detail is evident in the textures of the fabrics, the reflective surfaces, and the smoke gently rising from the pipe, all of which showcase his technical prowess. The artwork is a fine example of the Northern Baroque style, where everyday scenes are imbued with a sense of drama and narrative through the use of chiaroscuro.

While the exact date of creation is not specified, "A Candlelit Interior with a Young Man Seated at a Table, Lighting His Pipe" is consistent with Boonen's oeuvre from the late 17th to early 18th century. The painting is significant for its contribution to the genre of interior scenes, a popular subject among Dutch artists of the period, who often explored the interplay of light and shadow to evoke a contemplative experience.

This painting by Arnold Boonen remains an important work for its artistic merit and for providing insight into the cultural and social practices of the time, such as the leisurely activity of smoking a pipe. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical document of life during the Dutch Golden Age.
