This black-and-white photo shows a man dressed in a monk’s robe, reading an open book. His bald head has a golden halo, and he holds a tall plant with three white flowers behind his ear. The lighting is soft, making his face look thoughtful. The plant he holds is a palm branch, often linked to saints in art. This photo is labeled as a portrait of Saint Dominic, a religious figure. Check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in art.
