"A Candlelit Interior With A Boy Eating" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Godfried Schalcken, known for his mastery in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, particularly in scenes illuminated by candlelight. This artwork exemplifies Schalcken's skill in creating atmospheric interior scenes that often carry a moral or allegorical message, a common theme in Dutch genre paintings of the period.

The painting depicts a young boy seated at a table, lit by the soft glow of a candle, as he enjoys a simple meal. The chiaroscuro effect, a technique that contrasts light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures, is a prominent feature of this work. Schalcken's meticulous attention to the effects of light not only enhances the realism of the scene but also adds a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the viewer's experience.

Godfried Schalcken (1643–1706) was a student of the famous Dutch painter Gerrit Dou and later developed his own distinctive style that combined fine detail with a unique handling of artificial light sources. "A Candlelit Interior With A Boy Eating" is representative of Schalcken's genre scenes that often included a moralizing element or a subtle commentary on human behavior, reflecting the values and interests of the Dutch middle class during the 17th century.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its ability to evoke a narrative through the use of light, composition, and the depiction of everyday life. It remains an important work within Schalcken's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age, offering insights into the era's culture, domestic life, and artistic preoccupations.
