"Figures at a Candlelit Market Stall" is a 19th-century oil painting by the Belgian artist Petrus van Schendel (1806–1870), who was renowned for his mastery in depicting nocturnal scenes illuminated by candlelight, a genre known as "night market" scenes. This particular work is a testament to Van Schendel's fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, and his ability to capture the bustling atmosphere of market life after dark.

The painting portrays a group of figures gathered around a market stall, the flickering candlelight casting a warm glow on their faces and the goods for sale. The scene is likely set in one of the evening markets that were common in European cities during the 19th century. Van Schendel's skillful use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figures and objects, creating a sense of depth and realism.

Petrus van Schendel's work was highly sought after during his lifetime, and "Figures at a Candlelit Market Stall" exemplifies the qualities that made his candlelit market scenes so popular. The painting not only showcases the artist's technical prowess but also provides a glimpse into the social and cultural life of the period. Today, Van Schendel's paintings can be found in various museums and private collections, and they continue to be appreciated for their historical value and artistic merit.

The exact date of creation for "Figures at a Candlelit Market Stall" is not well-documented, which is not uncommon for works from this era.

The painting remains a fine example of Van Schendel's contribution to the Romantic movement in art, with its emphasis on emotion, drama, and the beauty of the nocturnal world.
