A black bowl sits on a dark table, filled with bright orange lobsters piled together. Behind it, a wide-brimmed straw hat rests on a blue cloth, with a yellow pencil lying half-hidden nearby. The lobsters look fresh, their shells glossy and detailed, while the hat’s texture contrasts with the smooth bowl. The artist focused on how light hits the lobsters’ shells, making them look almost real. The dark background helps them stand out. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how this play of light and shadow works.
