This black-and-white photo shows two people in a room. The woman on the left sits with a bow in her hair, playing a small stringed instrument called a viola da gamba. She holds a bow in one hand and rests the other on the instrument. The woman on the right stands behind her, holding a piece of paper and looking down. The background has a curtain and a carved fireplace with small statues. The lighting is dramatic, with strong shadows and bright spots on their faces and hands. This style is called *chiaroscuro*.
