This print shows a dimly lit alley at night. Two dogs sit on the right, their bodies hunched over a pile of bones. On the left, a trash can overflows with scraps. A faint light shines down from above, cutting through the darkness. The artist used strong contrasts between light and shadow to create depth. This makes the scene feel gritty and real. Look up chiaroscuro to learn how this lighting technique works.
