This photo shows a person in a stable, leaning on a wooden door frame. They’re wearing a white apron and dark vest, standing next to a brown horse. The horse is calm, standing on hay-covered ground. A bucket sits near the person’s feet, and the stable walls look plain and worn. The person’s face is turned toward the horse, almost like they’re posing together. The lighting is soft, making the horse’s coat look smooth and the stable shadows deeper. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
