Nattliga genrescener är ofta förknippade med moraliskt tvivelaktiga handlingar och det måttlösa. Mångtydiga bilder, som den gamle mannen med ett vinglas, är svårare att tolka. Motstridiga föreställningar om åldrandet var inte ovanliga under 1600-talet. Är ljuset här en symbol för ålderdomens visdom och dygd eller snarare lömska handlingar dolda av nattens mörker?
