Alexander Mariboe is a 1872 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man with dark, wavy hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark suit jacket, a white shirt, and a bow tie. His expression is calm, almost serious, and the background is plain and dark. The painting looks like a photograph but is actually a work of art. The artist used smooth shading to show light and shadow on his face. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
