This black-and-white print shows a man sitting in a chair by a table, looking down, while a woman stands nearby holding a fan. The room has a couch, a lamp, and a window with curtains. The lighting is dim, with shadows on the walls and furniture. The print was made to match a stage performance of a play called *Ghosts*. The artist used shading to create depth, which makes the scene feel real. Look up chiaroscuro to learn how artists use light and shadow like this.
