Dominant colour
Woman Selling Poultry is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows three people in a dimly lit room with stone floors and tall windows. A woman in a long dress kneels on the right, holding a basket of birds. A seated man in a loose shirt leans forward, reaching toward her. Behind them, a small figure in a turban sits on a bench, looking down. The lighting is dramatic, with strong shadows making faces and objects pop. The room feels old and quiet, like a moment frozen in time. This looks like it uses chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with light and dark.
