Mandsportræt
1900
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Mandsportræt is a 1900 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a man in profile, looking slightly downward. His mustache and goatee are thick, and he wears a high-collared shirt with a dark jacket. The lighting is uneven, casting shadows on one side of his face. The grainy texture and rough edges suggest it might be an older photograph. The focus is mostly on his face and upper body, with little detail in the background. Check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama.
