Two men in turbans stand together in this watercolor, one holding a lamp whose warm light sets the mood of the scene. The turbans and lamp suggest the Magi or other night travelers that Christmas art often shows, though the record does not say which figures the artist meant. Watercolor suited such nocturnal subjects, since painters built up thin, transparent washes and left patches of bare paper to catch the light, so the flame reads as the brightest point. The contrast between the lamp's glow and the cooler shadows around the men is worth studying.
