Contrast in value refers to the difference in lightness and darkness of different areas in a painting. In the painting "Ann Barry" by Gilbert Stuart, contrast in value helps to accomplish creating a realistic image that stands out against the background. By using varying degrees of lightness and darkness, the artist is able to create depth and dimension, making the subject of the painting appear more three-dimensional and lifelike. The contrast in value also helps to create a sense of realism by distinguishing the figure of Ann Barry from the background, allowing her to be the focal point of the painting. This contrast enhances the visual impact of the artwork and makes the subject more visually striking. Therefore, the correct answer is "Create a realistic image that stands out against the background."
