This black-and-white photo shows a woman lying down in a wooded area. She’s wrapped in a cloth, with one arm stretched out and the other resting on her head. Around her are branches, leaves, and a sense of quiet stillness. The lighting is dramatic, with strong shadows and bright spots on her skin. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—it’s all about deep contrasts between light and dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use it to create mood and depth.
