Portrait of the Artist´s Father, Master Baker Peter Berendt Købke is a 1835 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man in a dark coat with a high collar and a white cravat. His curly hair is graying, and he has a serious expression. The background is plain black, putting all focus on his face and upper body. The brushstrokes on his coat and hair are thick, giving texture to the fabric and curls. This style makes the painting feel almost three-dimensional. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
