Man Blowing on an Ember is an undated work by Dutch artist Matthias Stom, one of several he produced on Sicily. It represents a man, with a turban, blowing on a ember. The composition is totally in the chiaroscuro style and it doesn't give any evidence about his setting.[1] The painting was recorded in the Ruffo collection in Messina, it is now held in the Palazzo Abatellis, in Palermo.[2]
