From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Maria Magdalena is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white photo of a person with short hair, looking slightly upward. They’re wearing a necklace and a sleeveless top, with one hand resting near their chest. The background is plain and dark, making their face stand out. The lighting is soft but focused, creating smooth shadows on their skin. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to add drama.
