About this work

This black-and-white image shows a woman wearing a long dress and a loose veil over her head. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and she’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The lighting is soft, highlighting her face and shoulders while leaving the background plain. The photo looks like it was taken to study how light and shadow shape a person’s face and clothing. The contrast between dark and light is strong, almost like a sketch. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
