There is a clear lightsource where sun is entering through the window in the picture, but the harsh shadows on Conans back would also suggest another light source close by, also suggesting this are the dark, crisp shadows of the chains holding Conan. A lightsource that is further away would result in weaker, blurryer shadows. You can see light diffusing down across the snakes scales.

In this picture the foreground is in shadow, midground being lit with the background growing faint in fog or mist. The faded colours in the backgroun give an impression of distance with the darkest areas of the picture being closest to the viewer.
Joseph Wright 'The Blacksmith'
The orangey-yellow glow of the hot metal illuminates the scene, bathing the surrounding characters in warm yellow light. Soft shadows curve around the peoples bodies while hard shadows form from the blacksmiths legs so near the heated metal.
