Dominant colour
Bagpiper at an Inn is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a lively group of people in a dimly lit room. A man at the front plays a bagpipe while others sit or lean around him, some laughing, others watching. The walls look rough and dark, with a small window letting in faint light. A dog rests on the floor near the group, and a barrel sits in the corner. The artist used strong light and shadow to make the scene feel real and full of energy. The faces and clothes look simple but full of life. Check out chiaroscuro to see how light and dark create drama in art.
