The loaf of bread and goblet are in the mid-ground, farther back on the table. The dining table itself extends from the foreground toward the middle and mid-back of the room rather than filling the entire room. The distant wall is clearly visible behind the table. There is a single, continuous visual alignment running from the **candle flame in the foreground, through the gem in the handle of the bread knife in the mid-ground, and onward to the distant wall**. The candle flame is the **only source of illumination in the entire scene**. On the table is a rustic loaf of bread on a tray, partially sliced. A bread knife remains embedded in the loaf. Set into the pommel/handle of the knife is a clear, faceted, light-blue gemstone. The gemstone catches and refracts the candlelight. A goblet sits beside the bread in the mid-ground, suggesting that someone was recently sitting at the table and cutting bread. On the distant wall, exactly along the projected line from the candle flame through the gemstone, is a **large, vague, shadowy shape resembling an abstract butterfly or buttery form**.
