Herreportræt
1759
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Herreportræt is a 1759 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a man with curly hair tied back, wearing a dark, old-fashioned jacket. His face is serious but relaxed, and one hand rests on his chest. The lighting is soft, mostly on his face and shoulders, leaving the background dark. The photo looks like it was taken long ago, with a style that focuses on shadows and light. The man’s pose and clothing suggest a formal portrait, but we don’t know much else about it. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
