so what do we see? An interior with a view. It is a studio with pots of brushes; an easel with a painting on it; a second painting facing the wall; a heater that doesn't appear to be plugged in; what we can assume is an (the?) artist, sitting in a chair, and perhaps somewhat surprisingly, three tortoises. Pets? Props for another painting? The freestanding heater looks fairly modern; the sky is purple, it is late. Is this the artist alone at night creating 'magic' (his pot of paint seems to glow), or does he have company? Well of course he does if we count the tortoises, but his painting is a portrait, and unless he is using a great deal of artistic licence it is not a 'selfie'. Let's assume he is alone (bar the tortoises), after all if there is a sitter we cannot see them.
