From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Mandsportræt is a 1764 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white portrait shows a person dressed in old-fashioned clothes. They’re wearing a dark coat, a white cravat, and a patterned vest. One hand rests on a piece of paper or fabric, and the background is plain and dark. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, judging by the style of clothing and the grainy texture. The lighting is simple, with no fancy shadows or highlights. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how artists use light and dark for dramatic effect.
