Maleren Constantin Hansen is a 1862 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a full beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat, a light shirt, and a wide-brimmed hat. One hand rests on a cane, and the background is completely dark, focusing all attention on him. The lighting is dramatic, with shadows covering most of the background. This style makes the man’s face stand out sharply against the dark. This technique is called *chiaroscuro*.
