1850
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Eva is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman standing barefoot in a grassy field. Her long hair falls over her shoulders, and she’s wearing nothing but a thin belt around her waist. The background has a blurry, distant view of hills or mountains, with a few scattered leaves on the ground. The belt looks like it might be made of woven material, and the way the light hits her body makes her skin look smooth. The photo feels like it was taken outside on a sunny day. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in images.
