A woman with long, wet-looking hair sits wrapped in a draped cloth. Her skin is smooth, her pose relaxed but thoughtful. Behind her, a dark, cloudy sky meets a faint outline of trees and water. Her face glows softly, almost like light is coming from inside her. The contrast between her pale skin and the dark background makes her stand out. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—look it up next.
