"The Accusation" is a notable painting by the 19th-century Dutch-Belgian painter Petrus van Schendel, who is renowned for his mastery of night scenes, often illuminated by candlelight or lamplight. This work is a fine example of his skill in chiaroscuro and his ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow. Van Schendel's paintings typically depict markets and street scenes at night, with "The Accusation" standing out as a particularly evocative piece that captures a dramatic moment, possibly in a courtroom or a similar setting of judgment.

The painting's composition centers on the intense emotional exchange between the characters, with the use of light accentuating the focal point of the accusation. The figures are rendered with a high degree of realism, a characteristic of van Schendel's work, which often includes a range of expressions and emotions that add to the narrative quality of his scenes.

While the exact date of creation for "The Accusation" is not well-documented, Petrus van Schendel's active period as an artist spanned from the 1820s until his death in 1870.
