About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a woman in a draped robe, holding a bird in one hand and adjusting her clothing with the other. Her hair is styled in an updo with a headband, and she has a serious expression. The background is dark and blurry, making her the clear focus. The bird looks like a crow or raven, perched calmly on her arm. The lighting is dramatic, with strong shadows on her face and body. This style is called *chiaroscuro*—check it out next.
