Portrait of Cavalier Burnes
1750
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Portrait of Cavalier Burnes is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a faded, grainy face carved into a dark background. The person has wavy hair, a pointed beard, and a serious expression. The lighting is uneven, making some parts of the face stand out while others fade into shadow. The rough texture looks like it might be old or damaged. The way light and dark play across the face is simple but striking. Check out *chiaroscuro* for more on this lighting trick.
