About this work

This black-and-white photo shows three men in a dim room. One man sits on the floor, reaching up with his hand. Another stands behind him, holding a spear. A third figure floats above them, glowing faintly. The seated man looks scared or surprised. The standing man’s face is turned toward the floating figure, who seems to be blessing or speaking to them. This looks like a scene from a story. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
