It is established by being drawn in a different style than the other elements.

15. In Francisco Goya’s, The Shootings of May Third 1801, where is the area of emphasis?

16. Goya "lights" up the painting in much the same way a spotlight lights up the actors on a stage. Goya creates a very light value around the area he wants you to see. The man in the white shirt is the focal point of the painting. He uses value contrast to emphasize this area.
