The Interior of a Forest is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white photo of a dark forest. Tall, thin trees stand close together, their trunks rough and uneven. Light barely cuts through the thick canopy, leaving most of the scene shadowy. The photo looks old, with faded spots and a grainy texture. It’s hard to tell where the edges of the trees end and the sky begins. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow.
