This church interior was painted in Pieter Neeffs' Antwerp studio. The church that this chapel belongs to has not been identified, but the painter has convincingly evoked the atmosphere of a chapel’s interior in the evening candlelight. The numerous figures were painted by a different artist, and do not have the same level of finish as the architecture.
A painting by Pieter Neeffs and Bonaventura Peeters, also in the National Gallery’s collection, shows a more elaborate follow-up to this scene, as a service is being performed: An Evening Service in a Church.
