Lost Coin is a 1620 oil by Domenico Fetti, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
This painting depicts a woman in a white dress, with red sleeves, kneeling on the floor. She is holding a candle in her right hand and appears to be searching for something. The room is dimly lit, with shadows cast on the walls. The woman's dress and the shadows on the wall create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the use of light and shadow in painting, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
Domenico Fetti (also spelled Feti) (c. 1589 – 16 April 1623) was an Italian Baroque painter who was active mainly in Rome, Mantua and Venice.
