A Lady in Green is a 1923 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white photo of a person sitting sideways, their face turned away. They’re wearing a coat with a high collar and a hat pulled low over their head. The lighting is dim, and the background is plain, making the person’s silhouette stand out. The photo looks like it was taken quickly, with a focus on the person’s posture and clothing. The artist’s name is listed as 173_person, which is unusual for a photo. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how lighting and shadow work in photos and art.
