Dominant colour
Sophie Stramboe is a 1835 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman in a dark dress with lace trim on the sleeves and neckline. Her hair is pulled back under a fancy hat decorated with ribbons and flowers. The background is plain and dark, putting all focus on her face and outfit. The lace details look delicate but slightly faded, as if the photo is old. The lighting is soft, making her face stand out against the dark backdrop. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create dramatic effects.
