This black-and-white photo shows an older man sitting at a cluttered desk. He’s wearing glasses and a cap, holding a piece of paper or a small book in one hand while resting his other hand on the desk. A lit candle stands nearby, casting a soft glow. On the desk, you can see ink bottles, a quill, and some loose papers. The candlelight creates strong shadows, making the scene feel quiet and focused. This photo was taken in 1882, and it’s part of a collection at the Museum of Ethnography. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
