"Girl Pouring Oil into a Lamp" is a 17th-century painting by French Baroque artist Trophime Bigot, also known as Maître à la chandelle (Master of the Candlelight) due to his adeptness at chiaroscuro and nocturnal scenes. This artwork is a prime example of Bigot's skill in using light to create a dramatic atmosphere, a technique that was also famously employed by Caravaggio, whom Bigot was influenced by during his time in Italy.

The painting depicts a young girl in the act of refilling an oil lamp, with the light source illuminating her face and hands, creating a striking contrast between the illuminated parts of the scene and the surrounding darkness. Bigot's focus on the play of light not only enhances the realism of the moment but also adds a sense of intimacy and quietude to the composition.

While the exact date of creation is uncertain, "Girl Pouring Oil into a Lamp" is thought to have been painted during the artist's mature period, after his return to France from Italy in the 1620s. The painting is characteristic of Bigot's genre scenes, which often featured simple, everyday activities rendered with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

The work is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its contribution to the genre of tenebrism, where dramatic chiaroscuro is used to suggest depth and volume. It serves as an important piece in understanding the diffusion of Caravaggesque style throughout Europe and the development of French Baroque painting.

"Girl Pouring Oil into a Lamp" is part of a larger body of work by Trophime Bigot that showcases his ability to capture the effects of light and shadow, and it remains an important example of the artist's oeuvre and the Baroque period's artistic innovations.
