Kunstnerens søn, Peter
1894
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Kunstnerens søn, Peter is a 1894 by Unknown, depicting Boy, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a close-up of a boy’s face and shoulders. His hair is short and light, his eyes are wide and focused, and his lips are slightly parted. He’s wearing a simple dark collar that stands out against his pale skin. The painting looks like a photo but is actually a drawing—maybe done with charcoal or soft pencil. The shading is smooth, making his face pop against the dark background. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
