About this work

This photo shows two older men standing outside on a cobblestone street. The man on the left has long white hair and a beard, wearing a dark coat with buttons, and holds a walking stick. The man on the right has a beard, bare feet, and a long coat, leaning on a cane. In the background, three women stand near a doorway, and a basket of bread sits on the ground. The men’s expressions and clothing suggest they’re from a different time. The lighting makes shadows sharp, highlighting their faces and clothes. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this kind of lighting works.
