Dominant colour
Rubens' sønner is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a woman and a boy standing close together. The woman wears a dark dress with a white collar, a wide-brimmed hat, and a fur-lined cloak. The boy holds a small object in his right hand and has a serious expression, dressed in a blue jacket with gold buttons and a white lace collar. The boy’s outfit looks fancy, like something a wealthy family might wear. The dark background makes their faces stand out clearly. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro*.
