Dameportræt is a 1896 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white image shows a woman’s face and shoulders. She has dark hair pulled back, a plain necklace, and a dark collar around her neck. The background is a soft, light circle that fades into darkness. The photo looks like it was taken with careful lighting, focusing on her face. The dark background makes her stand out clearly. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
