A woman in flowing robes stands dramatically, one arm raised as if guiding or stopping something. Her hair is loose, and she wears a headband. Behind her, a man in red and armor slumps on the ground, his head resting on his hand. The background shows a forest, a distant ship, and a cloudy sky. Notice how the light hits the woman’s face and clothes, making them glow while the man stays in shadow. This contrast helps tell the story. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
