This black-and-white photo shows a girl sitting by a window, reading a book. She’s dressed in a simple, dark outfit with a high-necked top and her hair pulled back. Outside, sunlight streams through the glass, lighting up the leaves of a tree or bush. A chair and a small table with a box are visible in the room, which looks cozy but plain. The girl’s focus on the book feels quiet and private. The lighting through the window makes her face stand out against the darker room. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama in photos and paintings.
