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_).
