Portrait of a Young Man in Oriental Costume
Instead of gradual change from light to dark tones, this artist has contrasted an extremely high VALUE with extremely low VALUES. Such a technique causes a "spotlight effect", and the extreme contrast in light and dark is known as TENEBRISM. Images in predominantly dark shades are termed LOW KEY.
