Bedtime at the Shelter is a 1901 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of men in a dimly lit room. They are all shirtless, and some are wearing pants or aprons. The men are standing in a circle, looking at each other. The room is dark, with only a few rays of light shining in. The men seem to be in a shelter, possibly a homeless shelter. They look tired and worn out. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a focus on the textures and tones of the men's skin and clothing. The artist uses chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The contrast between light and dark creates a dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the composition.
