This print shows two people standing side by side. The person on the left wears a long, light-colored robe with a head covering, while the person on the right has a red shirt and dark pants, with a wrapped head and a fur or cloth over their shoulder. The background is dark and blurry, making the figures stand out. The artist used bold contrasts between light and dark to highlight the figures. This makes them look almost three-dimensional, even though it’s a print. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
