This black-and-white photo shows a man in a dark, old-fashioned coat with a white collar and a chain around his neck. He’s holding a long object that looks like a sword or a staff, and his other hand rests on it. The background is plain and dark, so all the focus is on him. The chain he wears looks like a symbol of power, maybe for a job or rank. His serious face and the way he grips the object suggest he was someone important. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
