This painting shows a dimly lit room with a single dark figure sitting in shadow. The light comes from a bright lamp on the right, casting a warm glow on the wall and a greenish plant nearby. Brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially in the light areas. The contrast between light and dark is strong, almost dramatic. The artist used quick, loose strokes to capture the mood rather than details. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting technique works in other art.
