•Clair-Obscur ( Grisaille ) in a painting is the contrast between light and dark areas. In a figurative work, it suggests depth by imitating, through tonal variations, the effect of light on volumes. A painting is said to be "in chiaroscuro" when this contrast is significant. More rarely, and in older times, " claire-Obscur " refers to a work that plays only on tonal values, synonymous with monochrome.
