Havn i en lille købstad is a 1901 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white image shows a quiet harbor scene. A small boat sits on the shore, half on land, half in water. Behind it, a simple building with arched windows and a sloped roof stands near a bare tree. The ground looks rocky, and a wooden dock extends into the water. The grainy texture and loose brushstrokes give it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The lighting is flat, with no strong shadows or highlights. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
