This black-and-white photo shows two figures outdoors. One person is kneeling, wearing a draped cloth, while the other stands behind them with wings and a loose cloth wrapped around their waist. The background has a tree and distant hills. The image looks like it was taken from an old painting, with strong light and shadow playing on the bodies. The way the light hits their skin makes them stand out against the dark background. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
