A young girl stands in a dim room, wearing a long white dress with puffy sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small object in her left hand. Behind her, a dark wall shows a faint painting of a boat on fire, glowing with warm light. This photo was taken in 1897, focusing on simple, everyday details. The artist used soft lighting to highlight the girl’s face and dress. Next, check out Impressionism to see how light and color shaped this style.
