Kitchen Interior with a Girl Reading is a 1764 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a girl sitting in a dimly lit kitchen, reading a book. She’s wearing a simple white cap and a light green dress with a dark red skirt. Behind her, shelves hold stacks of plates, pots, and jars, while a table holds a few more dishes and a cat. The lighting focuses on her face, making the rest of the room look shadowy. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use it to create drama in their work.
