Image Essay #10


The black and white media used to create this image is gives the picture a lot more emotion and makes that clear to viewer. Also, the way she is positioned on the chair, with her head down, helps convey the depressing emotion the artist is trying to get across. There is a nice use of tenebrism as you can see there is a strong directional lighting, moving from right to left. You can see excellent use of chiaroscuro that is used to define the figures body, creating definition in the person’s body structure. The hair is rendered very well, you almost can see the blondness in here hair, even though the picture is in black and white. Although this image is a little boring you can tell that the artist took there time. Over all this is a well composed composition with crisp lines and a good use of shading.
