Charlotte Sophie Gerner, f. Rasch, Henrik Gerners hustru is a 1785 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a woman with a big, powdered wig styled high on her head. She’s wearing a dark dress with lace trim at the neckline and cuffs. The background is plain and dark, so the focus stays on her face and hair. Her expression is calm, almost serious, and the lighting makes her skin glow slightly. The artist used soft shadows to shape her face and wig. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
