From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Malerens broder Oluf is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a person with light skin and dark hair tied back. They’re wearing a dark, buttoned jacket with a white collar and cuffs. The face is smooth but shows a slight smile, with careful attention to the eyes and hair texture. The image looks like an old photograph, but it’s actually a painting that mimics that style. The lighting is soft, focusing on the face while keeping the background plain. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
