From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
En olding med baret is a 1734 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a close-up of an older man with a bald head and a long, thick white beard. His face is slightly turned to the side, and his eyes are closed or shaded. The background looks rough and textured, almost like cracked leather or old fabric. The photo feels very plain and direct—no fancy lighting or poses. It’s just a quiet, up-close look at one person. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro for more dramatic light-and-shadow techniques.
