A Hunter
1676
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
A Hunter is a 1676 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a man in a forest holding a rifle, standing beside a woman and a child. Two dogs sit in front of them, and a deer lies dead on the ground. The background has trees, a distant building, and a cloudy sky. The man wears a blue coat and a large wig, while the woman and child have simpler clothes. The painting’s lighting creates strong contrasts between light and shadow, especially on the faces and animals. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this effect works.
