999. BY CANDLE-LIGHT.

Godfried Schalcken (Dutch: 1643-1706). See 199.

"To give the most natural effect to his candle-light pieces, Schalcken is said to have adopted the following system:—He placed the object he intended to paint in a dark room, with a candle, and looking through a small hole, painted by day what he saw by candle-light" (Bryan's Dictionary).
