This black-and-white photo shows a man in a fancy military uniform. His jacket is covered in gold embroidery, and he wears a sash across his chest. One hand rests on a rolled-up paper, while the other holds a small object. The background looks like a blurry landscape with a building and trees. The photo was taken in 1761 and is titled *Carl Peter Ulrich*. The man depicted was a Russian ruler, but the photo itself isn’t a painting—it’s a photograph of a painting. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
