A Tinker
1650
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
A Tinker is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a person squatting outdoors, holding a small tool and a round object. They’re dressed in simple, worn clothes, with one bare foot visible. Behind them, a few horses and riders are faintly painted in the background, under a dim, overcast sky. The lighting is dramatic, with strong shadows on the person’s face and body, making them stand out against the dark background. This effect draws your eye right to them. This style of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*.
