Number 9

The painting to the left is "Figures Round a Table by Candlelight" painted by Gerrit van Deurs.  Tenebrism, a technique in which dark ambient lighting is used to increase the drama of the situation, was used in this painting.  The four people depicted seem to be in the middle of something, but it is unclear what it is.
