This image shows a woman sitting on a rock, wrapped in a flowing cloth. She looks off to the side, her hand resting on her head. Behind her, a dark, hilly landscape stretches out. The title at the top reads *"Ever of Thee, I’m Fondly Dreaming"*—this was sheet music cover art. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to shape her face and clothes. Check out chiaroscuro, the technique that creates deep shadows and bright highlights here.
