The Painter Agnes Paulsen, the Artist's Sister, at her Easel is a 1886 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a person sitting at an easel, holding a brush and working on a canvas. The background is dark, making the figure stand out. The light hits their face and hands, showing the texture of their skin and clothes. The artist signed the painting in 1886, and it’s a portrait of their sister. The way light and shadow are used gives the painting a soft, realistic feel. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting technique works.
