This black-and-white photo shows three people sitting around a small wooden table in what looks like a dimly lit room. The person on the left, wearing a striped shirt and cap, leans forward with their hand on the table. The woman in the middle holds a small object, and the man on the right sits with his arm resting on the table, looking down. Behind them, a chair, a barrel, and a few scattered items fill the space. The lighting is dramatic, with strong shadows making faces and objects pop against the dark background. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—a technique that uses deep contrasts to create mood. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow to tell stories.
