This black-and-white photo shows a rooster perched on a woven basket. The basket is filled with what looks like grain or feed, and the rooster’s feathers are detailed, especially its large tail fan. Behind it, a wooden fence and a small window frame a dark, shadowy barn interior. The rooster’s proud stance and the basket’s placement suggest a quiet moment in a farm setting. The lighting is simple, with strong contrasts between light and dark. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
