Dominant colour
Woman and Drinking Man is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows two people sitting close together. The woman on the left wears a headscarf and a dark dress, holding a folded cloth. The man on the right has a long beard, a white cap, and a loose shirt. He’s raising one hand to his face while holding a small cup in the other. The painting’s dark tones and strong contrasts make the faces stand out. The lighting focuses on their expressions, almost like a spotlight. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
