Also known by the title "The Blower," it was painted in oil on canvas in 1572.
A work of Mannerist style where the magnificence of El Greco as a portraitist can be observed. He also displays complete mastery of lighting and the incidence of light on the face. The subject of the work is enigmatic: a boy lighting a flame in a dark and apparently cold space. The origin of the idea is not clear, but the artist repeated it several times throughout his career.
