About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a black hat, a white collar, and a dark jacket with a button visible near his chest. The lighting is soft, focusing on his face while the background stays dark. This photo was taken in 1819, and the man is a sculptor named Hermann Ernst Freund. The artist used subtle shading to give the portrait depth. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how lighting creates drama in art.
