This black-and-white photo shows a young man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s wearing a fancy dark coat with big buttons, white stockings, and buckled shoes. One hand rests on a table holding a stack of papers, while the other hangs loose at his side. Behind him, a tall curtain frames a faint outline of another person’s face in the wall. The photo looks like it was taken to show off his royal status—notice the serious but calm expression. The lighting makes his face stand out against the dark background. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
