"A Serving Maid and a Boy by Candlelight" is a well-known artwork by the Dutch baroque era painter, Godfried Schalcken. Completed in the late 17th century, it showcases Schalcken's signature style of employing artificial light to enhance the aesthetics of his paintings, a technique prevalent amidst Dutch Golden Age artists, known as chiaroscuro.

This painting beautifully captures a poignant, domestic scene involving a common Dutch household. It features a young serving maid engrossed in her chores, lit by the warm glow of candlelight, while a boy, possibly from the more affluent classes, looks on. The interaction between the two characters creates an intriguing narrative, lending an elevated sense of drama to an ordinary occurrence.

Notably, "A Serving Maid and a Boy by Candlelight" is distinguished by a meticulously detailed depiction and an impeccable interplay of light and shadows. The rich, vibrant colors combined with the subtle, soft-focus effect typical of Schalcken's oeuvre offer the viewer a detailed insight into 17th-century Dutch life.

In the broader context of Schalcken's artistic style, the painting's nocturnal theme attests to his mastery over the technique of night scenes, which was less tackled by his contemporaries. Despite the inherent commonality of the scene, Schalcken succeeds in transforming it into a work of great artistic merit, showcasing his outstanding ability to capture the simplicity of daily life with complexity and depth.
