A Barber's Pewter Jug

From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
A Barber's Pewter Jug is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a simple pewter jug sitting on a curved surface. The jug has a rounded top and a handle that loops up and over. Light hits the front of the jug, making it stand out against the dark background. The photo looks like it was taken to highlight the jug’s shape and texture. The lighting makes the jug’s edges glow slightly, almost like a shadowy outline. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
