This photo shows a woman dressed in a fancy, old-fashioned gown with lots of lace and embroidery. She’s wearing a crown and sits stiffly, holding a long train of fabric. The background looks like a dark curtain or wall, and her face is lit softly from the front. The tiny dots on her dress suggest it might be made of pearls or sequins. This photo was taken long ago, but it looks like a painted portrait. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama.
