Kong Frederik I i rustning is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a man in heavy royal robes and a tall, ornate crown. His face is serious, with a short beard and mustache. One hand rests on a sheathed sword, while the other holds a decorated staff. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply, like a spotlight. 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 shadows and light to create drama.
