"A Couple Drinking in an Interior by Candlelight" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Godfried Schalcken (1643–1706), renowned for his mastery in depicting scenes illuminated by artificial light, particularly candlelight. This painting exemplifies Schalcken's skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, a technique that contributes to the intimate and evocative atmosphere characteristic of his work.

The painting portrays a scene of domestic intimacy, featuring a couple sharing a moment of conviviality in a dimly lit interior. The figures are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, their faces aglow with the soft, warm light of the candle that serves as the painting's primary light source. Schalcken's adept use of chiaroscuro—a technique that contrasts light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth—enhances the three-dimensionality of the subjects and the space they inhabit.
