Portrait
1650
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Portrait is a 1650 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with a thick beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark collar with a bit of lace showing at the neckline. The background is plain and dark, so the face stands out clearly. The painting uses light and shadow to make the face look three-dimensional. The eyes stand out sharply against the darker skin and background. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
