Pigeons
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Pigeons is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white image shows four pigeons in a simple setting. One bird sits on the ground, its feathers fluffed, while another stands nearby with its head tilted. Above them, two more birds perch on a ledge, and a small nest with two eggs sits in the corner. The background is plain, with rough textures and scattered twigs on the ground. The artist focused on small details like the feathers and the nest, making the scene feel real. The lighting is soft, creating gentle shadows that add depth. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow work in art.
