From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Fish is a 1672 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a close-up of two hands holding a fish. The hands are wrapped in what looks like a striped cloth, and the fish is brownish-orange with a dark eye. The background is dark, making the fish stand out. The fish’s scales are thickly painted, giving it a textured look. The artist focused on the details of the hands and the fish, making them the center of the image. This style of using strong light and dark contrasts is called chiaroscuro.
