This black-and-white photo shows a woman’s face surrounded by a wreath of flowers. Her hair is covered by a hood, and her expression is calm but serious. The flowers—big blooms and small buds—frame her like a crown, with leaves and stems tangled around her neck and shoulders. The photo looks like it was taken long ago, with soft lighting that blurs some edges. The flowers aren’t real; they’re painted or drawn to look lifelike. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
