"A Man with an Album of Drawings by Candlelight, at a Table" is a 17th-century painting by French Baroque artist Trophime Bigot, also known as the Master of the Candlelight. The work is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and its intimate portrayal of a solitary figure engrossed in contemplation or study. The painting depicts a man seated at a table, illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, as he attentively examines an album of drawings. The precise handling of light and shadow not only highlights the textural details of the man's face and the album's pages but also creates a mood of quietude and introspection.

Trophime Bigot's oeuvre is characterized by such nocturnal scenes, which often feature a single light source that serves to enhance the emotional depth and realism of the subject. "A Man with an Album of Drawings by Candlelight, at a Table" is a quintessential example of Bigot's mastery in capturing the effects of light and the subtleties of human expression. The painting's exact date of creation is uncertain, but it is generally attributed to Bigot's mature period, when he had fully developed his signature style after being influenced by the works of Caravaggio and his followers during his time in Italy.

The painting is significant in the context of European art history for its contribution to the genre of tenebrism, where dramatic contrasts between light and dark are used to achieve a sense of volume and to direct the viewer's focus. Bigot's work, including this painting, has been studied for its technical prowess and its ability to convey narrative through visual means. "A Man with an Album of Drawings by Candlelight, at a Table" remains an important piece in understanding the evolution of candlelit imagery in European painting and the broader Caravaggesque movement that swept through the continent during the Baroque period.
