This is a black-and-white photo of two sculpted figures. One figure is kneeling, resting their head on their hand. The other stands behind them, one arm around their shoulders. Both have smooth, rounded shapes with soft folds in their drapery. The figures look like they’re made of marble or stone. The lighting makes some parts darker, others lighter, giving them a three-dimensional feel. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works in art.
