About this work

This black-and-white photo shows three men in old-fashioned clothes sitting at a wooden table. One man in a wig stands behind them, while the other two lean over papers and books by candlelight. The room is dim, with dark walls and a window letting in faint light. The candle is the only bright spot, casting light on their faces and the papers. The men look focused, like they’re working late into the night. If you like this style of lighting, look up chiaroscuro.
