This is a painting of a gallery of paintings—most of it is taken up by renditions of other paintings, all with their own light sources, displayed in a window-side gallery during what appears to be a bright afternoon. Teniers handles lighting and shadows highly realistically around the figures, furniture, and other real-world objects, but the gallery paintings are positioned in bright light so that the realism is maintained without any major changes to their coloring and light.
