In this canvas things are certainly not what they seem, on many levels . . . virtually all aspects of this composition may be suspect . . . as dubious a representation as the demeanor of the visage which exudes a contempt for something seen apparently just beyond our view.
Our presumed subject, comfortably smug in his private (yet publicly displayed) disapproval of unseen offenders, might be shaken up and find himself disoriented were the image perspective rotated 90-degrees . . . for the original scene from which this is extracted is a burning candle depicted close-in.
